Can someone explain how mining bitcoin can prevent "cyber crime"? I don't understand what the law enforcement in Arkansas is trying to do.

So the coin is “clean”. All their reasons they are mining it if you read the article is so laughable. What a joke lol. They say so they don’t spend taxpayer money yet bitcoin mining takes a lot of electricity which the taxpayers are paying. They are using the coin for buys and DNM investigations.

I give it 6 months before one of those deputies is on the stand for stealing the BTC.

Wouldn't surprise me if he's Wa$hing Coinage for profit.

It doesn't, and they are trying to make money.

Rediculous. They never had a problem doing undercover buys with drug money before. They NEVER had an issue spending drug dealer money in the past...

There is more to this.

They are likely laundering money

They are stealing that bitcoin.

It's obvious they don't understand it and this is a knee jerk reaction intended to "shake things up."

Being from Arkansas I'm at least happy we're on here for something other than meth or fucking something you're not supposed to

It's not preventing any cyber crime the sheriff is just using taxpayer dollars to enrich himself via bitcoin mining.

Stupid. Just arrange an LBC buy and bust the seller for illegal money transmission. Free bitcoins plus an arrest.
