Calm down! The Department of Homeland Security is a national agency, is it not? This isn't to do with local police at Chester County.

You realized what piece of garbage that article is?And you even made it worse!!!!

You used by yourself the word "americans" like it the fault of all americans and all americans are to blame for.
If you knew if Homeland Security was behind this why didn't you use this for title:

Department of Homeland Security arrests 24yo for conducting an unlicensed money transmitting business

And back to the article, I love how FaletiAbiodun, the author, a guy from Pakistan is painting things:

Quote
US law agencies can celebrate another success in their tireless crusade to stop ‘unlicensed money transmitting’ in the land of the free

Yeah, hilarious. Angry he didn't get a visa?



this may be hard for you to understand but not everyone wants to live in America. Calling out Pakistan guy ? I think he is in a better place regarding crypto than you.

Anyways as for article, I think government agencies got their priorities wrong. Lately ICOs banned Americans from participating because of regulations but what about millions of dollars still unregulated ? And they are devoting resources and manpower to catch a guy because of 40k USD

Exactly my thoughts. $40K is peanuts are compare to those drug dealers in America, and yet they call this a victory?

And they portray the kid as criminal kingpin? How do American categorized criminals? I'm at a total lost.

My point is that this article shouldn't be exaggerated. The kid was caught and now suffer the consequences of his deeds. But please stop sensationalizing. Homeland Security should target those whales.
