Remember that people is very sensitive on Bitcoin matters issue since it is a new payment system so expect that this kind of simple news will give a bad reputation on it. Just like the President of the USA, He/she can be easily target by fake propaganda since he/she is hot on everyones eye and which only means that he has a lot of enemy.
In Bitcoin case. Banks and other traditional payment system are it's enemy.
That is the thing, we know that every single piece of technology can be used to do bad things, however in the case of many other technologies governments have no problem with them because they are not threatened by them and in fact get huge benefits out of them, a great example of this is social media, but bitcoin is different because as we know bitcoin threatens fiat currencies and governments will not let go of any opportunity they have to try to scare people away from bitcoin.
