Feds Move Faster Than Defense Distributed. First BitCoin Money Laundering Case?

This is why I fucking hate April Fool's. It's entirely possible this is an April Fool's prank (especially given the hour). But, it's also entirely possible this is a stupid USDOJ action.

I mean, in Iraq, you don't say "suicidal whacko religious fundamentalist blows himself and others up -- oh, April Fool's!" because that happens frequently. You don't in DC say "politician accepts money from lobbyist to influence regulations -- April Fool's!". On the Internet, there's no humor in "USDOJ takes stupid and unconstitutional legal action against something it doesn't understand".
