Held at gunpoint

Today, a wealthy bitcoin trader was held at gunpoint by 4 robbers that broke in and entered his million dollar private property. He was then forced to transfer all his bitcoins to the robbers in a violent confrontation. The trader ran Aston Digital Currencies Ltd from their home and was well known in the digital world. Police are currently investigating this matter and no arrests have been made.

Bitcoin for Criminals?

The question of bitcoin being good for criminals comes up once again like the media likes to use. Bitcoin being nearly untraceable and with identities being anonymous it is hard for police to track down bitcoin and solve robberies like this where it is used to transfer the payments. Is bitcoin going to create more criminals?
