Is this a case for bitcoins value (removing the cost of banks criminal activities) or something that will be washed away like all of the other scandals banks have had this decade?

these scandals always get buried under the rug and forgotten within a few days. it's definitely a case for bitcoins value---we all know on some level that banks are parasitical and criminal. but it's difficult for that case to be made to the public when the narrative about bitcoin's own ties to criminal activity are so prevalent.

for example, the american authorities have just designated the bitcoin addresses of two iranian men as sanctioned. a friend mentioned the story to me because he knows i use bitcoin. he tried to claim this was evidence that only criminals use bitcoin. this is still probably a fairly common view.

Yes, the scandals will buried soon because we both know that there are many powerful involved in this such of things and the sweetest part is that it will make more investors trust in bitcoin which I agreed with you concerning the case to be bitcoins value but what hurt is that if bitcoin was the cause of this thing the government will go extra length.
