Yet again! Fox News TV host, Tucker Carlson, put forth a fascinating conspiracy theory that attempts to connect the rising price of ביטקאָין with the recent flight delays across the United States, Philippines, and Canada.
Carlson speculated that ransomware attackers were to blame for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) system outage that led to the cancellation of 1300+ flights and the delay of a further 10,000+ flights on January 11. Tucker added that the US government purchased a significant amount of Bitcoin (BTC) to pay the ransom. However, the lack of any evidence whatsoever from Tucker to back these claims is something the crypto community finds curious.
On his Fox News show the night of January 17th, Tucker Carlson קליימד that the price of Bitcoin (BTC) rose by over 20% after the airport chaos.
