I noticed a couple of other odd tidbits:
> The rise of virtual currencies has been exemplified by bitcoin, which lets Internet users create new money by solving complex math problems.
While technically correct, this explanation would probably give a layperson the wrong impression as to how bitcoins are mined.
> A transaction would start with one person opening a Liberty Reserve account using a false name and address, including what prosecutors said were blatant criminal monikers such as "Russia Hackers" or "Hacker Account."
Those are blatant criminal monikers? They sound more like trolls to me--serious criminals are probably a bit more sophisticated in their fraud.
