I believe the topic speaks volume for itself as it is already self explanatory.
This question was born out of a real life experience where a petty trader was publicly harassed by some uniformed security personnels claiming to be some police officers and after some investigations the security personnels claimed that the woman aided some criminal activities as well as some internet fraud simply because she made her private exchanges public and the government as some point also frowns at the use of bitcoin in my country.

I am kinda curious if this was reported in your local news or it was just a small-case incident that it is not worth reporting anyway. Any forms of bad stuffs happening relating to Bitcoin are usually reported here in my country although the government does not prohibit the usage of it anyway.

I don't know if it was later reported in our local news but typically everything happened in my presence and I reay do felt pity for the woman because on different occasions, I don't think she deserved such harassment because I don't think she was in the position to ask her customers the success of their assets they wanted to trade and blaming the woman for patronizing them wasn't right as there have been stories where people steal and still use the proceeds to purchase things, why not also mandate the regular sellers to investigate their customers before leting them buy.
From the look of things, I think the attack was for bitcoin and not just the woman.
