A director of the UK’s top crime agency is concerned that selling wildly expensive things for Bitcoin might attract money-laundering criminals.

“Anything purchased with crypto assets I’d be slightly sceptical about,” National Crime Agency director Nigel Leary told The Times of London in an interview published today.
