I do not understand how this was legal, considering he has not been tried and found guilty yet.

Whats with concerns about price. Imo btc price is next to irrelevant.  If it goes down people can mine diff sha coins and prop them. Else they may be stuck with asic whose ROI is tiny Cheesy

If true, it's Bullish good news, since they will not be dumping that $3Million in the future.  Smiley

Wow, they already sold that.  It's funny, I wonder how they sold the BTC for dollars and received the dollars.  It's so hard for US citizens to do that , I wonder what service they used.
It's hard for an US citizen to exchange BTC for fiat and cash out? What are you talking about?
It's not hard at all. You could use bitstamp for example and have the money in your pocket in a few days.

found more: http://www.justice.gov/usao/iln/pr/chicago/2014/pr0424_01a.pdf

Sadly it doesn't clear things up, in this document they just mention the 3 million USD.

No tx or anything, seems fake news.

Remember that there is a lot fake news!
People want you to panic sell so they could buy cheap coins.

again: did you even read the text? It's a different case, related to SR, but a different person, just read it!

It's from yesterday, wasn't yet posted anywhere here on bitcointalk so I just shared the news. Got it from deepdotweb, but they only copypasted the same text.

And as Jcw188 already noted, the interesting part is that they say they have already cashed out.

The government is also seeking forfeiture of approximately $3,030,000 in alleged proceeds from Slomps’ drug trafficking.  The government seized the equivalent of that amount in bitcoins, a digital currency, and exchanged it for cash.
