    In the Proposed Rule, FinCEN proposes to require financial institutions toimpose “special measures” against Liberty Reserve, S.A. (“Liberty Reserve”) under Section 311of the Bank Secrecy Act. As discussed below, the Bitcoin Foundation does not take issue withthe imposition of special measures against Liberty Reserve. Rather, the Bitcoin Foundation isfiling these comments to urge FinCEN to clarify statements made in the Proposed Rule and theunderlying Notice of Findings that could be misinterpreted to suggest that virtual currencytransactions in general are inherently suspect
