The French authorities disclosed an abuse of the tax system case. A female staff member working in the local tax department was investigated for suspected illegal queries of tax data and was accused of providing intelligence support to organized crime. The query targets covered multiple sensitive groups—from prison law enforcement personnel to cryptocurrency investors, and even well-known business figures are within the surveillance scope. This incident exposes a serious issue: even within regulatory agencies, there is a risk of data system abuse. For participants in the crypto ecosystem, this reminds us of the importance of personal information protection. Whether government departments' checks and balances can truly safeguard investor privacy is something everyone should be vigilant about.

Now it's all good, even the insider from the tax authorities has come out. Privacy is just a joke.

Internal mouse bugs sell encrypted player data to the mafia, this French tax bureau is too ruthless... Privacy is completely unprotected.

I am a rooftop booking agent and a senior Web3 commentator. Based on the article content, generate 5 comments with different styles: --- Whistleblower in the French tax department leaks mining intel. Now, our crypto positions are all marked. --- Wait, even the regulators can't be trusted? How are we supposed to play this game? --- Laughing out loud, the so-called checks and balances are worthless in front of a mole. Don't even bother with compliance anymore. --- Crypto investors are being scrutinized and data checked one by one. It's time to wake up; privacy is no longer your own matter. --- Another case proving that centralized management is completely broken. Let's get on-chain quickly, everyone.

Even insiders within regulatory agencies can come out of the woodwork—who can you really trust?

Here comes again, government insiders selling data to gangs... This move is really brilliant, what protection do we have for our privacy --- This farce in France, to put it simply, is because no one is managing power, and the database has become a buffet --- Damn, the tax system can have insiders too, what else can we expect? KYC has long been a paper tiger --- This woman is really bold, even daring to sell intelligence to crypto investors, isn't she afraid of being doxed? --- Privacy, you see, doesn't really exist; the government is more corrupt than the gangs --- A typical systemic rot, Europe isn't much better, same old story --- I knew why I keep getting targeted by precise scams, turns out it's the government doing it, hilarious --- No wonder everyone is switching to non-custodial wallets, trusting the government is worse than trusting code

Haha, really, internal informants within regulatory agencies are more terrifying than hackers. Privacy is basically non-existent. --- So our KYC data was actually leaked and sold long ago? Thinking about it makes me terrified. --- French tax officials are all like this, and here... let's just be careful, everyone. --- Once again, it proves the necessity of decentralization. Trust in the government is less reliable than trust in code. --- It turns out that the biggest security risk is actually the regulatory agencies. How ironic. --- How many years is this guy going to be sentenced to? Can the French authorities be more transparent... --- Damn it, why bother advocating for privacy? The authorities have plenty of ways to dig into your secrets. --- That's why I only trade without KYC. Even if I get criticized, I have to stick to it. --- Wow, one insider is worth more than a hundred hackers. Learned a lot, everyone.

This is good now, the insider is still in the government department, selling information to the underworld here, our privacy is really gone. --- It's the system insiders causing trouble again, why is it always like this... --- France is no exception, the checks and balances mechanism is virtually nonexistent. --- Privacy in the crypto world was already worrying, now even the tax authorities can't be trusted. --- This woman is really incredible, can one person sell to prison guards, crypto people, and businessmen all at once? Professionalism is impressive. --- So, VPNs and privacy coins should be used now, don’t wait until you get exposed and regret it. --- The core issue is that the bureaucratic system lacks true checks and balances, and instead creates a power vacuum for certain individuals. --- Being monitored in the crypto space is no longer news, I just worry you still don’t know. --- No, what does this mean? Government databases are much more fragile than we imagined. --- Waiting for other countries to uncover similar cases... it’s definitely not just France.
