I think it might be the unfounded accusations of this money going to pay for police misconduct. Considering the history of the city and corruption, I would say this is a fair assumption to make.


Can you clarify

>I think it might be the unfounded accusations of this money going to pay for police misconduct

? It seems that you're saying that the money paying for police misconduct is unfounded but that contradicts your second sentence.


In reality money goes often goes into different buckets. This bucket may be used for it’s stated purpose while another bucket pays for misconduct.

People often care about what their investments and donations are actually used for. See charity scandals where donations pay for CEO bonuses.


I mean, it was right there in the title: Miami Launches 'MiamiCoin' to Make Millions and Fund the Police. I wasn't saying they're doing this specifically for that case, but you know, they probably have a lot of ongoing and future litigation too.

Funding the police seems like it's turned into funding the military, and endless and ever-growing expenditure of what seems like a mayor's private political army.
