t the only ones cashing in on Bitcoin. The hackers behind
Lulz Security, whose campaign of online havoc drew worldwide attention back
in 2011, received thousands of dollars' worth of bitcoins after promising
followers that the money would go toward launching attacks against the FBI.A
report apparently drawn up by the bureau and leaked to the Internet
last year said that "since Bitcoin does not have a centralized authority,
detecting suspicious activity, identifying users and obtaining transaction
records is problematic for law enforcement."It went on to warn that bitcoins
might become "an increasingly useful tool for various illegal activities
beyond the cyber realm" -- including child pornography, trafficking and
terrorism.The FBI did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.Late
last month, the U.S. Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or
FinCen, announced it was extending its money-laundering rules to U.S. bitcoin
dealers and transfer services, meaning that companies that trade in the
cybercurrency would have to keep more detailed records and report high-value
transactions.Many in the Bitcoin community are frustrated at the attention

among the most skeptical Republican lawmakers when it comes to ongoing efforts
to draft an immigration overhaul.Those talks have largely been confined
to the so-called "Gang of Eight," which includes four Democrats and four
Republicans. A key member of that group is Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.,
who has along with Sessions and others urged Senate Democrats not to
rush the process.Separately, Sessions and two other Republican senators
on Wednesday sent a letter to the Republican members of the "Gang
of Eight" asking for specific details on the projected cost of the
immigration bill.Though a recent agreement between big labor and big business
on the issue of temporary worker cards was highly touted, the senators
have tried to draw attention to what is arguably the bill's most
controversial component -- the path to citizenship for up to 11 million
illegal immigrants."A primary concern related to a large-scale legalization
of illegal immigrants is the long-term cost for taxpayers," the lawmakers
said in the letter Wednesday. The letter was signed by Sessions, Sen.
Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan.Voicing concern that
