Some serious reading comprehension fail by the OP. If they introduced something, it would be a competitor to Bitcoin, never says they will begin accepting Bitcoin.
goddamnit, youre right.

edit: actually im not so sure. It's really not clear at all either way. I'm going to see if I can track down the journalists email to ask her.

If it is April fool's joke, they should have declared it somewhere/by now?

And even then, I think it would be pretty bad joke. It is not that outrageous thing. And not that funny to 99,9% of the people who don't know what bitcoin is and what's so special about it.

Apparently it's a well-researched article targeted at a serious audience, I doubt it's as simple as an April fool's joke.

Send your bitcoins to WU so they can send them to SR and the transaction will be compliant with money laundering laws?

I'm shorting WU instead.

Could be a joke but I doubt it. Would not surprise me if WU were the instigator in getting FinCEN to get some guidelines published.
