this is a good thing for bitcoin, demonstrating that bitcoin fraud is a serious offence that can be enforced under the law (just as fraud with any other currency would be). Gives more legitimacy to BTC when crooks can no longer thing "it's only magical internet money, the police won't be bothered about it!"

Excellent news coming from China... the police has arrested three of the GBL owners, who fled with their clients' BTCs.
