L.P.D.: Libertarian Police Department: The New Yorker - Tom O'Donnell:
March 31, 2014 - "I was shooting heroin and reading The Fountainhead in the front seat of my privately owned police cruiser when a call came in. I put a quarter in the radio to activate it. It was the chief.
"'Bad news, detective. We got a situation.'
"'What? Is the mayor trying to ban trans fats again?'
"'Worse. Somebody just stole 474 million dollars' worth of bitcoins.'
"The heroin needle practically fell out of my arm. “What kind of monster would do something like that? Bitcoins are the ultimate currency: virtual, anonymous, stateless. They represent true economic freedom, not subject to arbitrary manipulation by any government. Do we have any leads?'
"'Not yet. But mark my words: we’re going to figure out who did this and we’re going to take them down… provided someone pays us a fair market rate to do so.'"
