Stay safe, stay offline, don’t use your device in public, don’t even look at that device...and we’ll get them with an online warrant!

Only you can help curb the cyber pandemic!

You didn't expect the Government to do exactly that?

You truly are an optimist.

If this is all true, then this could well be Black Monday for all cryptos.

Dogs work really hard to please those that control their food, treats and other rewards.

Also, dogs have no concept of dishonesty, but understand very well disloyalty.

I think Biden’s conversations with children are limited to how young girls with berets in their hair look like 18-year-olds on a dating site.

Yes. There has been much talk about that. In his current state of mind (mindless) he has no sense of defense for his statements.

Occam’s Razor, the simplest explanation is the most likely.

So, like...

No warrant?

No judgment?

Just...took it?

I guess the people they took it from could file a complaint. But that would make this whole a spade rather “counterproductive.”

And just like that democrats and their propagandists are telling us this proves there is no alternate be but to pass the massive Biden pork bills. And so much for bitcoin being the free new monetary system free of the government.

FALSE FLAG!!!

So companies should beg to pay hacker ransom in bitcoin:
The DOJ will find it and return it in 4-7 days

They found a few millions “untraceable” bitcoin faster than the $35 trillion in “accounting adjustments” at the Pentagon

They managed to find it rather quickly, as well as decided that the “hackers” were based in Russia the same week it happened.

This story is Bull $hit.

It’s for people that do not understand how private keys work.

Hint they are not online.

It sure would be easy to "turn the tables" on Darkside if the "partnership" was actually with NSA Spooks masquerading as "Russian Hackers" Orchestrating the entire operation.

Most likely 4 out of 5 of the 'hackers' were actually FBI.
