Bitcoin Privacy Legend Amir Taaki Deported From Singapore

Crypto-anarchist, former Bitcoin Core contributor and cypherpunk legend Amir Taaki is in trouble again. 

Writing on X Tuesday, the developer said that he was questioned by Singaporean police before being deported from the country about “what I work on.” 

British-Iranian programmer Taaki, who was one of the first Bitcoin contributors, claims he has been in trouble with certain countries since spending time fighting with the Kurdish People’s Protection Units in Syria years ago. 

Just got questioned for 6 hours by glow police then deported from Singapore. Everything about what I work on.

Taaki, who has made significant contributions to bitcoin privacy over the years, today is working on a crypto privacy protocol called DarkFi. 

“The extralegal glow regime charge my friends with fake things like money laundering,” wrote Taaki.

“But they have nothing on me so they strike from the shadow. Weak coward tactics. Face me bitch.”

Taaki added that in the past year alone, he has also been deported from Argentina and Mexico, and detained in Serbia and Japan. 

He continued: “Every time it happens I ask why and they always tell me it’s just a random check,” adding that authorities never give reasons for why he is being detained or questioned. 

“I am on a list but I am not able to find any info about which country has sanctioned me.”
