the media is in love with bitcoin, the government, not so much.  the government is definitely in love with arresting people. the news loves to report on when the government arrests people.  So bitcoin plus indictments is big news!    All the haters want their chance to say "i told you so" i've seen so many damn i told you so's in the past 3 years they've run together.  but then btc busts through whatever small thing the haters thought would kill it and becomes stronger.
