Earlier this month, Great Bend was one of hundreds of cities targeted by a wave of bomb threats which may have been a Russian email scam. Several businesses and organizations across the country received emails informing them that bombs had been placed in their buildings, and $20,000 in Bitcoin was demanded to stop the bombs from detonating.Authorities determined the bomb threat was a hoax. But, after the dust settled, it left many scratching their heads about what Bitcoin is.
