Number 5 – Fished LocalBitcoins.com users

The two victims or criminals (depends on the point of view) are Michell Abner Espinoza and Pascal Reid, both from Florida. More on their doubtful actions can be found in the recent article.

Number 2 – Indian online store accepts Bitcoin only
HighKart.com, webshop from India, launched by Amit Kumar is the first online venue to have a single payment method – Bitcoin. The reasons for this decision are listed in the article of Eugene Runner.

However, a closer observation shows several other motives – among them the attempt for originality to promote the platform.
