Bitcoin evangelist Charles Shrem will plead guilty Thursday to one criminal count stemming from what prosecutors had alleged was a drug scheme involving his virtual-currency exchange and an online black market, according to court documents. Shrem, a well-known bitcoin advocate, will enter the plea in federal court in Manhattan next week, he confirmed in an interview. He said he would plead to one count of aiding and abetting an unlicensed money transmission. |
