Isn't it curious that folks like kim dotcom who do not hold hospitals or anyone to ransom earn global notoriety, are raided by swat teams and face the full face of the law while those that hold hospitals to ransom can operate with impunity with people reduced to tracking their bitcoin earnings on twitter.

It's a very classic and widespread law enforcement problem: They catch those who are easiest to catch. There's an anecdote that so beautifully displays this fallacy.

A police officer sees a drunken man intently searching the ground near a lamppost and asks him the goal of his quest. The inebriate replies that he is looking for his car keys, and the officer helps for a few minutes without success then he asks whether the man is certain that he dropped the keys near the lamppost.

“No,” is the reply, “I lost the keys somewhere across the street.” “Why look here?” asks the surprised and irritated officer. “The light is much better here,” the intoxicated man responds with aplomb.
