Ask an Expert: Haynes Explains Growing Popularity of Cryptocurrency | News | SUNY Buffalo State College

A man from Liverpool named Curtis Warren, famously known as the ‘Brit Pablo Escobar.’ Received recently a judgment from a UK court that has banned him from ever using bitcoin.

The 59-year-old had even been the most wanted criminal on Interpol’s list before his arrest. Warren had previously served a 12-year sentence in the Netherlands after being caught with £125 million worth of drugs and weapons. He had then earned another 4 years in prison after kicking a fellow inmate to death.

This isn't the first time that Bitcoin activities have been linked to criminals. Its use in nefarious activities has been an argument for lawmakers against the existence of the cryptocurrency, despite studies showing that only a small percentage of bitcoin transactions were actually linked to criminal activity, that's why the UK court made such decision, to prevent any type of bad behavior.
