Lowery (Secret Service guy): by and large, in our investigations, we haven't seen sophisticated organized criminals gravitating toward P2P cryptocurrencies like bitcoin -- they seem to prefer centralized currencies (e.g., e-gold, Liberty Reserve).
Maybe because I was bracing for him to come out with some asshole-ish statement about how bad BTC is, I was really pleasantly surprised at this acknowledgement.

These people seem to be addressing the situation honestly and in the larger context of advancing technology. American govt may have issues but also is clearly one of the best of the bunch. Love the ref to how USA is proud of advancing tech and knows it has a significant impact on economy. Contrast this to Thailand.
Hope someone points out that a lot of credit card fraud (by stealing # held in databases, etc) would disappear with bitcoin.

It's not fake, just overblown. Don't worry, we will crash eventually.

DHS just commented and said that cyber criminals that they have been investigating haven't directly gravitated towards bitcoin and prefer a more centralized currency
Yep. I was blown away by that.
