After reading through the whole article, I am just happy that all the conviction went through normal process and there is even room for appeal in case one will be needed. The case as I see it is not really about bitcoin but about doing the right thing according to the laid down rules and regulation about the process involved in such transactions and when anybody violates such, then let them face the music of their actions.

Seems like they were mere accomplices and the real accused is Anthony Murgio, who was the operator of Coin.mx.  All this prosecution is a side effect of the breach into JP Morgan's data.
