He mentions sources in the comments section and clears his intention with:

"This article highlights US laws are imminent based upon an increase in research activity into Bitcoin by the US courts service."

We've been discussing this article on the Bitcoin forums and I think we all know it's coming whether we agree with it or not. We can see any law passed against Bitcoin will affect it's market value.

Point 5 at the bottom of the article (Further Work) is worth a look.

It is a pure speculation that any law is imminent. There is still no source that says the US courts are "doing more research". Lastly, "we all know" is his own opinion, not the opinion of any group, let alone the bitcoin forum.

You really think the US will sit idly by as Bitcoin use increases?
