He betrayed the privacy of us all. If federal security agencies can’t do vast data sweeps, they will inevitably revert to the older, more intrusive eavesdropping methods.

He betrayed the Constitution. The founders did not create the United States so that some solitary 29-year-old could make unilateral decisions about what should be exposed. Snowden self-indulgently short-circuited the democratic structures of accountability, putting his own preferences above everything else.

“Clearly the increasing use and misuse of cyber-based currency and payment systems to anonymously transfer illicit funds as well as hide unreported income from the IRS is a threat that we are vigorously responding to,” Victor Lessoff of the Internal Revenue Service told the Financial Times.

Mr Lessoff, the director of an IRS unit that investigates cyber threats, was expanding on remarks made at a conference run by New York University on Friday.

“The globalisation and digitalisation of our currencies is a significant emerging threat,” Mr Lessoff said at the conference.
