yes. it explicitly pointed out Bitcoin. we're a target. we need to go deeper.

I'm going to read it all later on this afternoon. I'll post a synopsis tonight, if it's not done already.
I think it's an extremely important article. Who commissioned it or who was it created for? Which agency or think tank? Can you gather anything else about this?

Thanks Cypherdoc, you are awesome!
That's a great document for all of us to read. I just browsed it over real fast.
I noticed it talked about World of Warcraft Gold, and E-Gold, but didn't see a bitcoin mention. Is it there? Can you give us a synopsis? If not, i'll do it later this evening.
Great post!
