Today, we're sharing over 4,000 never-before-seen pages detailing the Communications Security Establishment’s (CSE) surveillance practices. These documents paint a picture of a powerful spy agency in dire need of oversight. Read our commentary today:

@KTJanePA @BeckiBenson2000 @RyanMarino This is super interesting. I often find it failing after 60hrs and assumed this was the expected behaviour. I’m being considered for SCS but in the meantime I might see if my doc is ok with me changing every 48 hrs. Thanks!

@nicksdjohnson I get the point, though - as financial surveillance intensifies and governments give themselves the power to seize unexplained assets with the help of banks and exchanges, using something like TC will look just as bad as having stolen funds.

@nicksdjohnson It's part of the laundering process. After they've broken the direct link to crime, they can put it through some other defi projects, maybe through TC again if they're really cautious, then do some wash trading on NFTs to give a sorta legit source of funds for integration.

@nicksdjohnson Sure. Crook drains WeakDAO in exploit. ETH is now in address controlled by crook... but address is tied to crime, and so is any address crook sends funds to. Crook sends ETH to TC. TC mixes, pays ETH to another address crook controls. No more ties to crime. Steps 1-2 done.

@nicksdjohnson Crypto blurs the line between 1 and 2, since the money is already in the system, or the system is in the money. Might be a law journal article for someone in that.
