Cocaine which he reportedly acquired from an online drug marketplace, financed by Bitcoin transactions. Now the Sydney mother is going on a crusade against the crypto-currency, calling on the Federal Government to ban it in Australia. Anna Skelly has launched her own change.org petition to have Bitcoin banned in Australia. ‘Tony Abbott,’ the petition starts, ‘commence an inquiry into Bitcoin – it’s protecting drug dealers.'”
