US investigates whether Bitcoin is being manipulated

in #btc7 years ago

Hey guys,

Just came across this article on Bloomberg.

It basically says that the US is investigating whether Bitcoin/altcoins are being manipulated. Thats "interesting" because if they do find that it is being manipulated then what next? Can they punish those people? If so could prices rise to ATH again?
