[2019-10-10] How the U.S. Government Tried – and Failed – to Shut Down Bitcoin
I'm not sure what tickles me more - that the U.S. government thought that it could "take out" Bitcoin, that Ms. Haun
sidestepped its agenda and had the foresight to learn about and understand crypto rather than just knee-jerk reacting,
or the massive contributions she has made to the space since then.
A former federal prosecutor turned Bitcoin proponent has revealed that her boss at the U.S. Attorneys office asked her
to look into shutting down Bitcoin.
The year was 2012 and Katie Haun, then a federal prosecutor with the U.S. Attorneys office, didnt know anything about
Satoshi Nakamotos Bitcoin until she was asked to investigate and take down the worlds flagship cryptocurrency.
They said we have this perfect assignment for you theres this thing called Bitcoin and we need to investigate it, Haun
recounted in a recent interview with CNBC.
That was the first time Id ever heard of Bitcoin, she added.
