Bitcoin’s first Batman? Peter McCormack plans to buy his own police force
Bitcoiner Peter McCormack says the police “have failed” the town of Bedford and insists he can do a better job by deploying his own security team.
Prominent Bitcoin podcaster and Real Bedford FC owner Peter McCormack claims he can tackle Bedford’s rising crime rate better than the local police force, taking on a role some might liken to a real-life Batman.
However, the legal implications of his plan are still unknown.
“As I promised, if the police won’t keep the town safe for our women and children, I will,” McCormack said in an X post on Friday, explaining that he is personally funding a pilot project to provide security in his hometown of Bedford, UK, with 10 guards patrolling the town center every Saturday.
