Same crap all over again. Media makes it look like Bitcoin is the news here. I don't really see them advertising these kinds of stings when fiat is used. Looks like Bitcoin is the new voodoo doll/smashing puppet

A Hyannis felon who tried to buy a gun and silencer from a secretive “Darknet Market” website that he paid for with Bitcoin online currency is facing firearms charges, authorities said.
Justin Moreira, 21, was arrested when he picked up a package he thought contained a .380 caliber pistol and a silencer at a post office box, according to a release from U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz’s Office. Authorities were waiting for him and the package was actually sent by an undercover federal agent.
