Comment on Germany's biggest Bitcoin exchange surrenders user data to the policeparent

Comments

If the investigators think that you are withholding data or harboring criminals, they can take the equipment. Bitcoins generally don't have the best reputation and they're a small company, so it's more likely they'll get treated roughly be the law if they don't cooperate.

Probably not because of one user, but when the cases pile up there's a good chance it'll raise questions about the legitimacy of their service.

When you earn your money by running said service, you are likely going to want to avoid that.
