You souks probably also add the SilkRoad (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=5341) account to the DPR entry as this account is most likely owned by Ross (assuming you can conclude that he is in fact DPR).

Can't believe those guys used to post here regularly, feels weird. I imagine that list will grow, hopefully Karpeles is added to it at some point in the future. Because this place is fairly anonymous you have to do something pretty damn serious for the feds to bother chasing you down.

Why? He's been prosecuted and sentenced to life regardless of appeals which he'll probably be doing for the next decade of his life probably all with no success at all. He's likely to rot in prison now. Did Blake Benthall have an account here? I guess it's likely. Title: Re: List of members of BitcoinTalk sentenced in a court of law concerning Bitcoin.

You obviously know nothing of law. While an appeal may be filed, it is VERY likely to produce nothing. They don't go and start the case over. They only consider whether mistakes were made. Ross will argue mistakes occurred - then the judge will laugh in his face. Really, there is a 100% chance of no change to his outcome. This notion that an appeal will come and the case can be reheard by a new judge is hilarious. Ross is finished. Done. That story is told. Life - without parole. He will never get out.

Hello SwC faithful: I'm sure you have seen the news today. (yup, after a quick scroll up, you have seen the news) First off, SwC will continue as is. I am going to step back for an undetermined amount of time and deal with this legal matter. The personal safety of myself and my family is first and foremost to me. This is a very serious matter. I'll update you when I can. you will be left in good hands with ST7. I have all trust in them. Technologically I expect the project to continue forward on the path described. As always, all funds secure. I have retained top legal representation in Nevada. This is going to deplete my funds rather quickly, and they only take fiat so I'm asking for fiat donations here: http://gofund.me/t7q32aw and bitcoin donations in the first comment of this Reddit are also appreciated at this extremely tough time: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/34759e/bryan_micons_legal_defense_on_gofundme_bitcoin/ Title: Re: List of members of BitcoinTalk sentenced in a court of law concerning Bitcoin.

This notion that an appeal will come and the case can be reheard by a new judge is hilarious. Ross is finished. Done. That story is told. Life - without parole. He will never get out. The reason that cases are so rarely changed by the appeals process is that it is relatively uncommon for courts to make mistakes when it comes to the interpretation of the law. With that being said there is probably more constitutional protections that are given by supreme court rulings then what is spelled out in the constitution.

Quote STATEMENT Federal Criminal Case Against Burt Wagner Dismissed at the Request of the Department of Justice July13, 2015 I am very excited to announce that the criminal case against my client Burt Wagner was dismissed today. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Colorado filed a motion earlier today requesting that the U.S. District Court Judge handling the case, the Honorable William J. Martinez, dismiss the case against Mr. Wagner. Judge Martinez subsequently issued an order dismissing it. On October 7, 2014, Mr. Wagner was charged in a single-count indictment with violating 18 U.S.C. § 1960 (operation of unlicensed money transmitting business) in connection with his purchases and sales of bitcoins. Mr. Wagner entered a plea of not guilty. Although Mr. Wagner and I both wish he had never been charged, we appreciate the U.S. Attorney's Office ultimately doing the right thing and dismissing the criminal case against him. With this dismissal, Mr. Wagner can begin the process of resuming his regular life. It has been a true privilege to represent Mr. Wagner. I could not be happier for him and his family.

Quote Your Honor, years ago I recognized my kinship with all living beings, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth.

DebsI listened to all that was said in this court in support and justification of this prosecution, but my mind remains unchanged. I look upon the Espionage Law as a despotic enactment in flagrant conflict with democratic principles and with the spirit of free institutions… Your Honor, I have stated in this court that I am opposed to the social system in which we live; that I believe in a fundamental change—but if possible by peaceable and orderly means.
