I really hate seeing how they always try to find different ways to put emphasis on that point and by doing so, in most cases it'd change the point of view of the ones you've mentioned above towards BTCitcoin.

I understand! But unfortunately, there are a lot of people that try to create fraudulent schemes using Bitcoin, and the justice ends up having to create rules for these situations.

I think the community is well aware that there are many scan schemes.

so that judges and prosecutors have more information - in this case about Bitcoin. Examples of fraud/crimes are usually presented, in which Bitcoin or other crypto was used for the purpose.

Additional information on the topic: The US Department of Justice has created a team to investigate crimes related to cryptocurrencies.

I wouldn't mind seeing more people on that field, as long as it doesn't lead to "any" kind of collateral damage!

The glossary is surprisingly good. The only real errors I can find are where it says that a satoshi is 1 millionth of a bitcoin and in the description of Silk Road.

In a recent survey, I found information about Bitcoin on the official U.S. Sentencing Commission website: https://www.ussc.gov/

This information refers to seminars and articles developed for the US court system, so that judges and prosecutors have more information - in this case about Bitcoin. Examples of fraud/crimes are usually presented, in which Bitcoin or other crypto was used for the purpose. But, it also features several details about Bitcoin, including White Paper (or a version of it).

In a general search, we saw several articles: https://www.ussc.gov/search/site/bitcoin

Highlight a glossary, which was presented in 2018, at the seminar: https://www.ussc.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/training/annual-national-training-seminar/2018-materials/emerging-tech_glossary-crypto.pdf

And the White Paper version, via bitcoin.org: https://www.ussc.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/training/annual-national-training-seminar/2019/emerging-tech_white-paper.pdf
