A Foxhole-atheist swears Pat Robertson said last night that his new book warns of a "digital cash society" and massive theft by cyber-criminals. Did any believer hear this, or know if this is what he prognosticates for e-cash bedevilment?

I saw him on the 700 club about a year ago WRT this topic. As far as I
can recall, the above accurately sums up his position.
(The reason he really cares has to do with that "Number of the Beast"
stuff in Revelations)

You have a friend at the NSA: Big Brother is watching. Finger for PGP key.I believe that Pat Robertson is not aware of the privacy-enhancing capabilities of e-cash. In a probabilistic sense, he may well be right. Nathan

In the 700 Club transcript I have, David Chaum is interviewed, and the blinded digital cash he has invented is portrayed in a very positive light, as a way of enabling digital cash and avoiding the prophesies of Relevation.
