    #USDOJ announces major move against underground (and mostly unknown) #cryptocurrency exchange Bitzlato, tied to illegal drug market https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/crypto-doj-bitcoin-latest-news-bitzlato-b2264668.html [www independent co uk]

    > "Overnight, the Department worked with key partners here and abroad to disrupt Bitzlato, the China-based money laundering engine that fueled a high-tech axis of cryptocrime, and to arrest its founder, Russian national Anatoly Legkodymov," said Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, who led Wednesday’s press conference.

    > "Today’s actions send the clear message: whether you break our laws from China or Europe – or abuse our financial system from a tropical island – you can expect to answer for your crimes inside a United States courtroom."

    #StateFarm insurance hit with big racial discrimination lawsuit

    Supposedly, the lawsuit is based on the company's own internal reporting ... if this is true, then the state attorneys general in #California and #New_York should also be suing to get vigorous restrictions placed upon State Farm and related companies.

    I've said it before, but the whole country depends on those two states' attorneys to knock corporations in the head with a stick. #USDOJ is either too timid or too corrupt to intervene in most such cases, and smaller states don't have the clout even if they weren't also bought and paid for.

    1. Police in this tiny Alabama town suck drivers into legal ‘black hole’
      from https://www.facebook.com/john.archibald.94801
      Using unmarked police cars and uniforms without insignia, the town with no traffic lights collected $487 in fines and forfeitures in 2020 for every man, woman and child. Total town income more than doubled from 2018 to 2020 – from $582,000 to more than $1.2 million – as fines and forfeitures rose 640%.

    @geniusmusing Yeah. :-(

    I think the #blockwars folks may have indirectly caused this. There are people who file complaints against client apps that don’t build in blocklists against specific servers whose moderation policies they dislike.

    I think that #Matrix / #Element competes with one or more Google-owned chat-type services. Since they gatekeep the overwhelming majority of Android users’ software installation, a good antitrust lawyer would be helpful. I’ll bet that faxing a bunch of documents to #USDOJ and various states would suddenly cause Google to decide that Element doesn’t violate their policies anyway.

    (Someone said it was “Boomers at Google that don’t understand federation”, but first of all, I’m certain that most GOOG employees are far younger than you and I, and secondly, I’m sure someone at Google understands federation, though they obviously dislike not being in control. Google Talk was federated with #XMPP, while Google Plus was basically #Diaspora with federation stripped out.)

    I repeat more clearly: #USDOJ's absence from this lawsuit (and their failure to file it when the offending purchases occurred) has "corruption" written all over it. #DOJ lawyers should be the courtroom face of this trial, not some private firm that FTC has to hire because the so-called Justice Department refused to do its job.

    The biggest question on everyone's minds should be where is #USDOJ? They should have sued back when Facebook bought #WhatsApp and #Instagram ... or at the least, been actively involved in prosecuting this lawsuit. It really does seem like DOJ's beef with #Google is that the bribes ^W political contributions weren't large enough or didn't reach the right person.

    A very bad strategy. No governor wants the their National Guard units to actually shoot people. They want to contain the destruction, so that rioters eventually run out of stuff to destroy and go back home. Likewise, no president wants the Army to shoot people.

    And no soldier wants to be told to shoot his / her own nation's citizens, so there's a huge risk of disobedience.

    The better strategy would be to send #US-DOJ in with arrest warrants for the other police officers involved in #George_Floyd's death (and the police officers involved in #Breonna_Taylor's death) and keep them confined while building a case against them.

    @noyoushutthefuckupdad @moonman @mangeurdenuage@loadaverage.org @1iceloops123 Yes, I'm very much in favor of firing the Attorney General every six months until #USDOJ prosecutes the top leaders of the large financial institutions that wrecked the economy. I won't be satisfied until I see several financial corporation CEOs in orange jumpsuits and leg irons on NBCNews.

    On a personal note, a large NYC-based bank's shenanigans caused me to lose my home, but I'm pretty sure I would not have been able to keep it anyway. I don't want that specific house back, but I'd be happy to get a little help buying another one.
