politics has taken a dark turn lol. Justice Minister Pavel Blažek resigned after selling 468 bitcoin what he got as a donation because they came from a dark web criminal. Opposition called it money laundering and government narrowly survived a no confidence vote 94 vs 101. While the judge's resignation has made civilian government safer, public trust has been eroded ahead of October election.
you know when government or institution hold or sell crypto from questionable sources, the need for due diligence and transparency also ethical standard comes into sharp focus, right? Especially when institution are investing in crypto, such as the first healthcare provider you mentioned above, they will face increased regulatory pressure globally unless they clearly demonstrate a track record of auditability and source verification. You know, such type of czech saga is not just local at all, it may increase global standard for public crypto and ethics.
For me this should not be a problem if you dedicate the money to noble causes rather than to personal or party profit. So a criminal wants to give me a donation of money that probably comes from drug trafficking? I am going to donate it to associations that help people who suffer from this problem and others such as sexual exploitation and marginalisation. Being a politician, or a political party, and benefiting from that money, I see the controversy as justified.
This isn't a Bitcoin scandal. It's a corruption scandal.
Aye.
