Dublin City Schools Representative Tracy Miller alerted police that he had received a similar email the morning of November 26. The email was traced by investigators and found to have been sent through an Oregon-based company specifically provides private, untraceable email access, according to police. Another email received regarding the threat was through another account, which is also not traceable, or accessible.

Perhaps they mean their leads ended at a shell account or such paid for with Bitcoin? I'm not sure that makes much sense, but the article's wording makes even less sense.

As a result, the school district initiated a two-hour delay schedule.

The buildings were swept by police and cleared of any danger.

I wonder how much that cost? I wonder how much the fake bomb threat cost?

An exponential force multiplier for exhausting their funds?

Are they getting confused and the reality did involve Bitcoin but for purposes of blackmail, à la Mitt Romney case?

Mail trough Bitcoin accounts? Where do I get one? Did I miss something? What is this? ... Help!
