The only reason they investigated this was so they could seize all of the coin

Also, disgusting how Coinbase rolled over and it took it up the ass so willingly

Cool thanks for the link!.. Yeah, but any justice is better than none, especially in the crypto world. Sounds like KYC rules is the main reason they got busted. Trying to convert BTC to a bank account. The large amount of money got reported to LE agencies.

I don't see any justice here. Some kids stole money from a scammer in the Czech Republic, and now the USG stole everything for themselves.

This sounds like Parallel Construction (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_construction (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_construction)) to me

I see your point.. The US mafia got their cut.
Parallel construction, Yes! Could be for sure. That is some scary, 1984 big brother stuff.
