Bitcoiners should be supporting predator catchers. These guys pose as teenagers online to catch child sexual predators.

Just heard a predator admit that some people he knows of use Bitcoin to facilitate sex trafficking. Bitcoiners have a direct interest to support the people that take these fuckers down.

Go out to the fringes, support the content creators exposing these criminals.

I used to work these sort of stings. Very righteous cases.

I didn't see much bitcoin use in that world, noticed more CashApp/Venmo use. Vast majority was cash.

I did one time pay for a decoy escort ad using bitcoin because they only accepted Mastercard or bitcoin and my card for missions was a Visa. I didn't bother requesting for reimbursement from the Sheriff's Office on that one.

How can the problem be best addressed?

This particular sting was carried out by Colorado ped patrol. In the several encounters I've seen from those guys they've hardly ever been faced with someone admitting they know about sex trafficking.

But it makes sense to me that if you're interacting with these criminals on an everyday basis, eventually you will come across individuals who are in deep.

Good on CPP to get the news out there. This was a case out of El Paso county, CO.
