What a strange website experience.
The original headline, both on the article and HN, was
"Crypto’s Hottest Hires Aren’t Millennials. They’re Banking Cops".
I have no idea what the term "Banking Cops" means. I press `CMD-F` to find "cop" on the page. The first result is the instance in the headline.
I press enter to find the next occurrence of "cop", the one in the story that will surely explain the title, and I'm immediately shown an all-black website with the headlines of the day:

This is seemingly an entirely different website from the article I was just reading. The URL has changed from the HN-linked story URL to instead now read `https://www.bloomberg.com/crypto` https://www.bloomberg.com/crypto`.
I still have no idea what a Banking Cop is, or why they are interested in Crypto.
- miobrien 9y agoIMO "banking cops" is just clickbait. Ah, the vicissitudes of prose: journalists trying to coin a phrase. But it's just confusing, as you point out. They're just talking about regulators and compliance officers. The former work at the SEC/FINRA, and the latter work in-house for banks, broker-dealers, and investment firms.
