Bitcoin Convicts

[twister]

Add him to the list as well https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1359877.0 though there hasn't been any news on this as far as I know but it sounds pretty serious, so he probably will spend some time there. Mentioning which countries these guys are from should be good also. And Cryptsy guys might make the list some day or not?

Have you guys seen this, regarding Ross Ulbricht

Poor goats getting attacked in such a manner.

Think a few might have not known the rules and did not realize how harsh it is to go up against the banks.
It sucks to be locked up for a misunderstanding or a unjust ruling.

Im not sure if he is already on jail but he should eventually get there, even tho he will probably leave sooner than later and still be really rich when he leaves.

Coming soon, these guys from the fine US National Guard:  Derrick Shelton, James Stewart and Quentin Stewart

The three Guardsmen each face as many as 20 years in prison if convicted

Well I think you should definitely add Mark Karpeles, how did you forget to add the biggest scammer of all time on the Bitcoin history?
Im not sure if he is already on jail but he should eventually get there, even tho he will probably leave sooner than later and still be really rich when he leaves.

The Mtgox main wallets have still been active recently

so keep with ur fantasy that Mark is the only one behind

the theft

Indeed. Even after they have been released, we are not sure if they are still holding on to the large amount of bitcoins that they have stolen... They could have used brain wallets to store their coins!

Add Big Vern to that list

I really dont know, if he got off free, there was never any news about it, some how he may have bribed his way.

He has been posting on twitter for a long time, does not seem to be a big break between Feb 2016 in between his tweets which was the time he got arrested.
