He Said Only Criminals Use Bitcoin: Senator Sentenced to Prison for Bribery!

US Senator Bob Menende was sentenced to prison for corruption.

New Jersey's Democratic Senator Bob Menende was sentenced to prison for bribery. It was stated that Menende, who was found guilty in his court appearance on Tuesday, July 16, "received bribes in exchange for his political influence."

Menende's bribe proceeds included large-scale items such as gold bars and a luxury car.

Menendez had also made an attempt against the US State Department in El Salvador. The senator co-sponsored a bill titled “Cryptocurrency Liability in El Salvador (ACES) Act,” which stated that El Salvador's acceptance of Bitcoin as legal tender poses a risk to the U.S. financial system.

He said that only criminals use Bitcoin

Senator Menende drew reaction from the cryptocurrency community with a statement he made in recent years. In his statement, he stated that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency products are an ideal choice for criminals.

It was ironic that Menende, who drew attention to money laundering cases and terrorist financing, especially through Bitcoin, was sentenced to prison for corruption at the end of the day.
