Hi Ketariz, If you check out all the Irish newspapers articles on this today and reports from the courts one of them was a Bitcoin trader. How else would he have been converting €100,000s of Bitcoin he was receiving as payment?

The title is misleading. The guys are just drug traders selling drugs. Their business is not trading bitcoin.
