"WASHINGTON — IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) will launch a pilot program in June where cyber attachés will deploy to four continents across the globe to combat cybercrime, focusing on tax and financial crimes that use cryptocurrency, decentralized finance, peer-to-peer payments and mixing services. The four individuals tapped to serve as cyber attachés have significant expertise investigating cybercrime and will work with IRS-CI's law enforcement counterparts in Asia, Europe, South America and Australia.
It is unfortunate that this is an effort to clamp down and suppress the numbers of users of decentralised cryptocurrency like bitcoin. The government will never stop at nothing to push for control of people's finance, this is the debacle but the government won't focus on other human related cybercrimes like bullying, security by terrorists groups, child pornography and sexual exploitation and manipulation. These are all cybercrimes , I think the government has to also focus on the high rate of crime and insecurity and not just the online crypto trading business before we have another SEP 11.
The IRS wants all people who are required to pay taxes to do so. And there has always been a lot of attention to crimes that threaten the national security of the country.
