Two years for $124 million... sign me up!

Plus, why is he using anything that can be tracked back to him? Is Bitcoin freedom money or not?

add kyc and nothing is freedom money

"get your corn off the exchanges" as we say

He sold it on an exchange. It’s linked to you no matter what he used.

He now owes the government around $1 million in restitution. Okay, but why does he have to hand over his private keys? It's crazy..

this some BULL-SHIT
