Hey there, What’s Next readers. This week we’ve got an exclusive Q&A about a case shaking up the cryptocurrency scene. We’ll also look at an identity fraud schemerelying on tech from the U.S. Postal Service, a question of jurisdiction in a suit against telecommuters, and “wiretapping” for behavioral biometrics and other identifying info.

A heads up: Next week we’ll be out for the holiday. Send any tips for the weeks ahead at [email protected] or @IanMichaelLopez.
