    Ooooh I really hope they scam them out of their money. This would be a perfect opportunity to hook the NYPD on crypto too. /s

    This can only end in more institutionalized racism and other forms of oppression by the NYPD.

      The problem is that the scam will hurt a lot of innocent people along the way. They won’t produce any actually useful data, but they will false flag a whole bunch of accounts, most likely on the basis of racial profiling or supporting unions. Y’know, the usual stuff.
