Can you tell us more?

The page linked above contains asset seizure orders from the Israeli MOD. We want to import them and emit both People and CryptoWallets. Our friends at ThetaRay have already made a Google sheet out of most of the data (everything but the most recent ASO?) and shared it with us: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1J0xD7ZyU0HnHxkpwvmN9UpF3TZKZXmJD8XiPC5XpJDg/edit#gid=414584047

Still, they are going to keep making new announcements. My proposal would be to build a crawler that both parses the spreadsheet as a CSV, and also parses the web site directly to find new data. This way some entities may be emitted twice, but that's very fixable.

I've also just implemented an h.extract_cryptos helper function that goes some way in recognizing wallet addresses and telling you which currency they correspond to. This would be helpful in order to create more well-described CryptoWallet entities.

This is a suggestion or request
