🇺🇸 The USA can enlist 'privateers' to combat crypto-hackers
💥 A bill is currently under review in the U.S. House of Representatives that grants the president the authority to apply a form of 'privateer licenses and reprisals', similar to those used in the 18th century.
At that time, states hired maritime pirates to attack enemy ships.
➡️ Now, private companies and individuals may, at the behest of the USA, track down and arrest foreign crypto-criminals who have committed high-profile cryptocurrency thefts.
