A combined effort of American, British and Korean agencies shut down the dark web's biggest child porn distributor, "Welcome to Video", by analyzing cryptocurrency transactions and de-anonymizing them. I didn't even know that was possible, but good stuff. https://t.co/gASiu0EhoQ

How dumb can you get?

The methods the authorities used to track down the owner of the “massive” dark web child-porn site “Welcome to Video” seem so simple it amazes me it was up for over 4 years.https://t.co/xVsXUas6jd pic.twitter.com/iJzJj6i7TG

How did the feds take down the nasty child exploitation site Welcome to Video? Not surveillance or hacking. They did it by following bitcoin transactions. @lilyhnewman https://t.co/oD1J9bdh3z

Massive child porn website on darknet taken down. They were caught by tracing bitcoin transactions. 8 terabytes of child porn videos, 250,000 unique videos - feel sorry for the children, but also the investigators who have to go through that material.https://t.co/0KKk0eLPyM

If these criminals had used United States Dollars, they would have gotten away with it. But by using $BTC, they left a public, transparent, immutable trail. Conclusion: $BTC is better for catching crooks than $USD. Proof: https://t.co/q6nwxXoJKq

이렇게 충격적으로 더럽고 기막힌 사건이 있었음에도 사회적 어젠다도 후폭풍도 반성도 만들어내지 못하고, 무슨 노상방뇨 처벌받듯 겨우 18개월 이미 복역하고 있다니, 수사도 거의 외국이 해 가져다주고 그 흔한 포토라인에도 세워보지도 못하고. 검경과 언론, 각성바랍니다https://t.co/tiqwfyFFDQ
