FinCEN has just made it so that all dollars exchanged for bitcoins can be traced to some person.
one step closer to the edge
Thanks for the link Dalkore. Surprised if they don't already have access to this data at the higher levels and are merely going public with it to allow lower security access.
And yes, they will need to hire a bunch of forensic accountants that know about bitcoin in the coming years to maintain information superiority for america, not surprising to see them advertising for it specifically. Thanks for the links! Proof that some people in GotUS are paying attention and trying to stay informed.

Reuters - "The Obama administration is drawing up plans to give all U.S. spy agencies full access to a massive database that contains financial data on American citizens and others who bank in the country, according to a Treasury Department document seen by Reuters.
The proposed plan represents a major step by U.S. intelligence agencies to spot and track down terrorist networks and crime syndicates by bringing together financial databanks, criminal records and military intelligence. The plan, which legal experts say is permissible under U.S. law, is nonetheless likely to trigger intense criticism from privacy advocates."
