Czech Ministry Sparks Outrage After Taking Bitcoin Donation from Convicted Fraudster

Another day, another crypto scandal—this time with a side of government hypocrisy.

The Czech Republic's Ministry of Finance just got caught with its hand in the digital cookie jar, accepting a Bitcoin donation from a convicted criminal. Because nothing says 'transparent governance' like anonymous, untraceable currency from shady sources.

Who needs due diligence when you've got a shiny new blockchain toy to play with? The irony is almost poetic: a government department—tasked with enforcing financial regulations—gleefully bypassing its own rules for a quick crypto score. Maybe they're just practicing for their future careers in DeFi rug pulls.

Meanwhile, taxpayers are left wondering: if this is how they handle dirty money, imagine what they do with clean fiat.
