US Central Command Wants Counter-Terrorism Finance Analyst with Second Life & Bitcoin Experience to Deploy in Afghanistan

Quote
The analyst will be tracking "Counter-Narco-Terror illicit finance", which means the applicant should know about Sharia-compliant banking and terrorist finance, along with knowledge of "emerging alternative and mobile payment methods", especially Bitcoin and Second Life, which both enable the (relatively anonymous) conversion of real money into virtual currency, and vice versa. (And notably, there seems to be a lot of trade between Bitcoin and SL's Linden Lab currency.)
