Snowden Revealed a Secret Document Showing How NSA Tracked Bitcoin Users

[Goodcat49]

Edward Snowden, former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) employee, has put National Security Agency (NSA) documentation at the disposal of online news organization The Intercept displaying a secret program that was set to spy on Bitcoin trading on the cryptocurrency market.

“If the government’s criminal investigations secretly relied on NSA spying, that would be a serious concern. Individuals facing criminal prosecution have a right to know how the government came by its evidence so that they can challenge whether the government’s methods were lawful. That is a basic principle of due process. The government should not be hiding the true sources for its evidence in court by inventing a different trail,” - American Civil Liberties Union’s Patrick Toomey explained his view on this situation.

The Intercept has published some interesting information that can drastically influence the financial market. The top-secret documents, obtained from world-famous whistleblower Edward Snowden, prove that the NSA has been monitoring Bitcoin trading transactions and their performers. The online newspaper also reports that the program was launched in order to track down the possible money flow to terrorist organizations.
