Bitcoin of attention. Government agencies and regulators have begun relentless investigations, and we will now be hearing more and more about new arrests and seizures.
The feds appear to have managed to seize nearly $3 million from an account linked to Mutum Sigillum LLC, the American subsidiary of Japan's Mt.Gox.
The fact that an account had been set up by Mt. Gox was revealed a few months ago and after investigations it was discovered that very large sums of money were being transferred through this account.
The government became involved because the bank account was used to transfer money without proper approvals and disclosures.
The company, of course, is fighting to get its money back, claiming that all money movements were made in accordance with US law.
