USG Issues Sanctions Against Two Bitcoin Addresses
The US Treasury Department's "Office of Foreign Asset Control" has targeted two Bitcoin addresses as a part of of their efforts to sanction Iran (archived). This incident highlights the abject incompatibility of the criminal organization calling itself the United States Government and the honest Bitcoin network. The criminal organzation, which is absurdly claiming it can have an office for the purpose of controlling foreign assets in foreign lands, is trying to say our Bitcoin network far above their criminal reach must change its rules on their say so just the same as any other bum asks your favor with nothing to offer but more asks.
Update: Transactions were sent to the "sanctioned" addresses despite impotent proclamations.
64 Year Old Woman Jailed In US Over Cotton Candy, Released Months Later

Node.js "event-stream" Library Added Bitcoin Wallet Stealer After New Maintainer Takes Over
The "popular" node.js "event-stream" library was loaded with a module stealing from Bitpay's Copay Bitcoin wallet after creator and longtime maintainer Dominic Tarr handed maintenance over to an unknown identifying itself with the text string "right9ctrl" (archived). Before the handover right9ctrl made a couple of contributions to event-stream building rapport with Tarr. After getting the keys to the repository right9ctrl added a dependency in event-stream on a new "flatmap-stream" library which had been distributed in an encrypted form, which should itself have been a warning if anyone had been bothering to read code they run. Instead it took two months for supicions to emerge.
Bitpay's Copay wallet used the even-stream library, and Bitpay was not involved in raising the alarm over this grave subversion of their product.

France Erupts In Violent Anti-Macron Protests

IEEE Journal Announces 29 Article Retractions Without Identifying Articles
The "Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers" announced their retraction of 29 articles published within the past two years in their journal "IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility" (archived). Curiously the withdrawn articles are not identified. The IEEE is pinning the retractions on some sort of misconduct involving three volunteer editors, also unnamed, who the group saw fit to bar from further membership. Apparently in US Academia's post-post modern age enumerating problems is fine, but naming them is not.
Gavin Quits And Disbands His Proud Boys After FBI Terrorist Classification
Vice Magazine cofounder Gavin McInnes has quit and effectively disanded his "Proud Boys" after the FBI moved to classify the group as a right wing/white supremacy terrorist organization.
