US regulators charge three bitcoin operators with fraud (following BTC value tumble)

And your article isn't much better, to be honest.
The SEC has been doing enforcement related to cryptocurrency for at least 2-3 years now. These actions take serious time to put together, and the odds it has ANYTHING to do with BTC's price downturn are basically nil. They've always held that fraud using cryptos is the same as regular fraud, and they've prosecuted plenty of people for it. This isn't news.
I have to read enough of this nonsense everywhere else, don't particularly need it here.
