👨‍⚖️ First Warrant for Bitcoin Seizure On September 14, 2012, Secret Service agents seized the computer equipment of Michael Brown, who was later proven to have blackmailed Governor Mitt Romney, demanding the equivalent of $1 million in bitcoin in exchange for not disclosing allegedly hidden income by the official. This seizure became the first case of issuing a warrant not only to prove the defendant's guilt but also to check the computer equipment for the presence of bitcoin, which would serve as evidence of payment to conceal unlawful activity. image

📚 Notable Publication On September 11, 2014, Michael Goldstein publishes the legendary essay "Everyone's a Scammer". Mike's main point is that to avoid being scammed out of your future wealth, the best strategy is simply to HODL your Bitcoin. The article suggests that while market-based scams may decrease as Bitcoin matures, users must always remain vigilant. "What is a 'scammer' in the Bitcoin world?
