All for a paltry $1.37 million USD? Why? Doesn't this severely undermine every potential "good" use-case originally promised by crypto? (Anonymous or at least semi-private)
I imagine ICE promised that they (and a bunch of other federal agencies) would crawl really far up their butt if they didn't accept that generous gift of money in exchange for the data access.
A ritual burning of the 4th amendment might've happened right after.
