Oh, *Now* They Care About Bitcoin?

Right, so after years of ignoring it, pretending it didn’t exist, and letting scammers run wild, the UK police have suddenly decided £5.5 BILLION worth of Bitcoin is a problem. Yeah, okay. Turns out some woman – yeah, *one* woman – was running a massive money laundering operation through crypto. Apparently, she convinced people to send her funds with promises of insane returns (shocking, I know) and then just…didn’t give the money back. Groundbreaking stuff.

They seized the Bitcoin, which is now worth more than some small countries, and are trying to figure out how to actually *deal* with it. Because apparently nobody thought about what happens when you confiscate a digital currency that isn’t exactly easy to just…put in a vault. Idiots.

The whole thing is being hailed as the “largest crypto bust ever.” Fantastic. Took them long enough, frankly. And I bet they’ll screw up handling it somehow. They *always* do. Expect headlines about lost keys and botched transfers any day now. Don’t hold your breath for a smooth recovery of funds for the victims either.

Honestly, this whole situation just proves everyone involved is woefully unprepared for dealing with anything remotely modern. It’s infuriatingly predictable.

Speaking of incompetence, I once had to explain to a network admin that “traceroute” wasn’t a social media platform. Seriously. These people are in charge of *infrastructure*. It’s terrifying.
