The World is a Stage, and the Bitcoin World is no exception.
The Hermetic concept of Duality, dear to the Freemasons, coded in both the Mark Karpeles and Alexander Vinnik arrests (black/white cap, black/white boxing gloves). We're also made to believe the 2 cases are connected as supposedly BTC-E was used to funnel MtGox stolen funds.

Notice how Vinnik and the Agent next to him are both wearing Kappa 1967 Athletic Collection tshirts. Either they went shopping together or the Agent made him wear that tshirt for the cameras.
Also BTC-E has stated Alexander Vinnik has no relation to BTC-E . They might be lying, but I wouldn't rule out the arrest scene was faked and just a media stunt.

The symbology is there to send out the message to the masonic elites worldwide that these operations are all about Hegelian Dialectic.
2 sides in the dialectic:
-Anarcho Capitalists: "no regulations for bitcoin"
-Statists: "bitcoin needs to be fully regulated or banned"
and the Synthesis: "some regulation is needed so it can't be used for money laundering (aka escaping taxation) or crime".

The dialectic can also be seen as:
problem : "unregulated bitcoin exchanges lose your money, launder money and engage in illegal activities "
reaction : "oh no terrible where's my money, something needs to be done about this!"
solution : "new regulations!"

Also behind this there's also the US vs Russia dialectic PsyOp (russian hackers and all that). They want to keep Russia as enemy as it is vital for the Military Industrial Complex and a WW3 down the road.

There's been a lot of events staged to regulate Bitcoin : MtGox, Btc-E, WannaCry, Chloe Ayling etc etc
You may argue that some regulatory framework has helped Bitcoin gain acceptance from the mainstream, but as some say "Blockchain technology can be used either to liberate humanity or completely enslave it" and we're starting to head in the wrong direction.
