Bitcoin is already the go to coin for every crooks and criminals around the world and there is a solid demand from all folks of life ,be it drug dealer or illegal arms dealer ,everyone will be using one form of crypto currency.

What the hell? Ever heard of XMR!? That's what criminals are using haha. Why would criminals use bitcoins if every transaction you ever do can be tracked on the Blockchain?

I'm sure the big credit card companies are going to be passed when someone buys an irreversible currency and they're liable for it.

It's true the man can pay back now, but that does not justify the theft in the first instance.

The man did the right thing. He made a solid financial investment. The woman would have squandered the money anyway on overpriced costume jewelry and perfume... Cheesy

The story shows how common and relatively easy credit card fraud is. The privacy invasive ID requirements for every lolly you buy are not improving security. Instead the people that in the past were satisfied with stealing your money are now discovering the unlimited opportunities of identity theft.
