Because the US is going after bitcoin as well. (for some reason CD thinks a person who commits fraud is a censored word..that's the *** below)

Bitcoin is a currency, rules US judge - News - Gadgets & Tech - The Independent
A judge in the United States has ruled that Bitcoin, a decentralised virtual currency, should be officially recognised as a form of money.
The landmark ruling opens the way for US regulators to sue a suspected *********, who is accused of misleading investors in a Bitcoin-based product he was selling.

It's funny because you can't really enforce it on a decentralized pseudo-currency.

The word in the article that CD banned is f-r-a-u-d-s-t-e-r .
It's a UK article.

But you can ban wildcards, instead of banning the many derivatives using the f-bomb you ban it as wildcard effectively banning them all. There is probably a string in there that matches something that may be uncommon, the compiled ban lists are usually generic and can often catch harmless words especially if they take into account foreign spelled explicit words. I just can't figure out what it might be.
