Meh, if that is what happened then it was not really "money laundering" since the undercover agent had no intention to actually use the bitcoins to buy stolen credit cards.Title: Re: [2014-03-08] Florida Judge: The State Has The Grounds To Prosecute Bitcoin Case Post by: Ripdon007 on March 08, 2014, 07:49:06 PM Quote Reid committed a crime when he tried to sell bitcoins to an undercover agent, who made it known to Reid that he would be using the bitcoins to buy stolen credit cards.

Even before this case, if someone I sold bitcoin to were to tell me they're going to use them to purchase something illegal, I would have bitched them out for being one of the assholes who make BTC look bad and told them to piss off. Thank god I don't have to deal with that site anymore.

Sell a bitcoin for cash? Am I reading that right?

It's all about thoughts and intentions, correct? I think this case is a joke.

Maybe they should cut the budget and trim down the force so they worry about real crimes.
