Bitcoin Developer’s Brush with Salvadoran Law Over ‘Stupid’ Insult

In a twist of fate that could only unfold in the peculiar world of El Salvador, longtime Bitcoin Core developer Jon Atack found himself in handcuffs, a victim of a 2011 law designed to protect women from violence. The charge? Insulting his neighbor by calling her “stupid” during a heated argument over a piece of land. The police, ever vigilant, were ready to send him to jail, where he might have languished for up to eight years. 🤦♂️
