[X-Post from bitcointalk] Globe & Mail : Australia probes bitcoin crime links

As if the DNM situation in AUS wasn't bad enough.. Whenever they post things like this I wonder why bother make it public rather than just arresting people and then admitting it's part of an operation ?

A top Australian law enforcement agency is investigating bitcoin's role in organized crime, a senior official said, just as politicians and financial regulators embrace the digital currency as a legitimate part of modern business.

The investigation into bitcoin's crime links by one authority as others embrace it highlights the crossroads governments have reached as they struggle to regulate the five-year-old "cryptocurrency," a method of making anonymous payments which has surged in popularity around the world.
