please resteem for bit-e worker
Ouch. Wonder what this is really all about. Failed greek economy, surging bitcoin that people are longing for, and of course a russian hunted by the usa, and announced by its propagandist rags. Would like to read that warrant.
Who holds the US accountable for all the money it has laundered?
