Ill be honest, they are really starting to clamp down hard in the U.S and is making me nervous.
With this exception of this California action, everything else in the US has been completely consistent with existing US law.
I am speaking of the recent developments with the IRS and FinCen along with this as well as the numerous services surrounding bitcoin that have gone down.
As am I. Recent developments with the IRS and FinCEN are entirely consistent with US law as it has existed for years. Ditto Mutum Sigillium seizure warrant. Tax and MSB implications were directly addressed years ago in my State of the Coin 2011 presentation, among others. If you operate outside the law in your jurisdiction, the obvious result occurs... eventually.
There is no question that US authorities are ramping up
enforcement of existing law.
