  Kinda odd that this article is coming out with so many deaths of important crypto people. 3 Dead in November of last year, and a recent one a few days ago.

  From the article, they are worried about money laundering, ransomware, theft, fraud and scams, drug trafficking, and proliferation finance (e.g. funding north korea nuclear things).
