This is misinformation how can you say arrested because they where trading bitcoin, from the body of your post I can tell you that the gang arrested are more of cyber criminals who operate on a website which police have blocked, so how do you relate operating a website and trading bitcoin?

They were robbers who were robbing innocent people. What is so bad about that? The title made me think that innocent people were arrested. It is a known fact that Bitcoin is not completely anonymous in nature which is why it is possible to trace BTC TX to an extent.

KYC process makes it even more easier to trace a transaction in this aspect.

Even if they were innocent, trading anything illegal in a country is a punishable offence and they would be arrested. This is what the Bangladesh Bank said: https://www.coindesk.com/bangladesh-outlaw-bitcoin-jail

It's a good thing that they have been arrested.
If they're doing it for a long time, I guess authorities have been looking after their activities.
Though they're already paying for what they did,
we still can't deny the fact that there are still lots of criminals roaming around like them so it should serve as a warning and we must be observant all the time.
