(TS//NF) No data on 11 March 2013 and we are working with engineering to pin
point the issue.
(TS//NF) SSG11 analysts have found value in the MONKEYROCKET access to
help track down senders and receivers of Bitcoins (a decentralized digital
currency system , wherein the units are known as Bitcoins or BTC.) (SNM)
(TS//NF) S2F214 is hoping to use the access for their mission of looking at
organized crime and cyber targets that utilize online e-currency services to move
and launder money. These illicit finance networks provide user access to
international monetary systems , while providing a high-degree of anonymity.
