``In the warrant, a special agent with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), states that there's probable cause to believe Mt. Gox is engaging in "money transmitting" without a license, a crime punishable by a fine or up to five years in prison. The warrant goes on to demand that Dwolla hand over the keys to account number 812-649-1010, which is owned by Mt. Gox subsidiary Mutum Sigillum LLC, and held in the custody of Veridian Credit Union.'' -- Funny, when they created MtGox, did the government even consider bitcoins "money"? This seems quite revisionist (short of an agency rule which makes a due-process determination of whether buying and selling bitcoins actually is currency exchange...)
