Ben Lawsky, Superintendent of the New York State Department of Financial Services, spoke with Bloomberg TV’s Trish Regan today on the future of Bitcoin and virtual currencies on the internet and the ability of law enforcement to police their use as they become more anonymous.
When asked whether the dark web can really be policed, Lawsky said: “Yeah, I think so…I think prosecutors will eventually bring the hammer down if these sites are being abused and people are dealing in illicit drugs, just like they would do if it was happening in the real world, not the virtual world.”
