There have been at least three major cases filed against individuals recently that involved trading or selling Bitcoin in some manner or the other.

One such case is U.S. v. Faiella, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 14-cr-00243, which involved two defendants, Robert Faiella and Charlie Shrem, was at least halfway settled on Friday when Charlie Shrem agreed to a plea deal with US prosecutors. The case involved the two defendants allegedly attempting to sell more than US$1 million in digital currency on the Silk Road.
