It's definitely him.
Coindesk recently intercepted an email from Charlie to his parole officer. It simply stated "Beer run."
I must say that if this is the truth ... well perhaps it is ... my opinion is that it shouldn't be like that.
... world is sick.
Why's that? Charlie wasn't selling drugs, and the case against him was for an inherently victimless money-shuffling crime where he enabled an inherently victimless drug-selling crime. Don't get me wrong - a lot of drug-related sentences are draconian and awful, and Charlie got out very well in that regard, but Charlie was pretty removed from the kinds of crimes they hammer the proles with to move "neighborhood undesirables" (often Black or Mexican) into prisons so the rich don't have to suffer their presence.
System's fucked up, but I'm definitely glad Charlie wasn't subject to the really harsh sentences they sometimes dish out.
So far as I know Charlie was charged with :
The vice chairman of the Bitcoin Foundation was charged by federal prosecutors with conspiring to launder more than $1 million in the virtual currency, the latest charges tied to the illicit online bazaar Silk Road.
Money launder + bitcoin = bad karma for bitcoin? (isn't?)
And as far as I know money laundering is a crime, and if they will catch me they will send me to a jail for a long sentence.
But .. Charlie is a billionaire
he can sit at his home and even go out to be a part of a Bitcoin Documentary.
This is a reason why I am telling that the world is sick - I meant system - maybe not whole world
Law system is fucked up.
No bad feelings about Charlie - he seems to be "ok"... but he is a criminal and his case is again showing to me what the law indeed is.
You have money - law is on your site. You are poor - you go to jail
