The CEO of Bitcoin got arrested for money laundering!!! 100% not 'fake news'.

[Kmdr]

The guy himself said on Twitter that he was arrested in a sting operation after trying to sell someone Bitcoin through Localbitcoins web site.

As for being the "CEO of Bitcoin"?  Lol, sure. Batman is my uncle.

A truly shocking news. What will happen next with bitcoin. The evidence seems practical and ruthless. Be calm with this? the darkness is coming!

This is bad news. I just noticed the price of bitcoin is dropping really fast. Check it yourself. Its going down the 10000 mark. Would it be the end? We will see what future beholds with the CEO of btc gone.

It is funny that you guys believe that this news will affect Bitcoin price to go down. First of all the word "Bitcoin CEO" doesn't even exist because no company owns Bitcoin. The man that OP referring is Morgan Rockwell, it is true that he is a CEO of a company named Bitcoin Inc but not the cryptocurrency Bitcoin itself. So what would be the effect this to Bitcoin price if he gets arrested because of money laundering? probably nothing. Anyway this case is still under investigation so it is still not clear if what would be the charges that they will file to him.

Bad news of today!

This thread worries me but I'm not entirely sure why, it's one of the following:

- OP is a troll but others won't realise this because they're completely stupid and will think this is 'real' and that Bitcoin the cryptocurrency has a CEO
-OP is also completely stupid

I'm leaning towards the first one.

OP is a notorious troll and FUD spreader.  This is laughable!  Bitcoin is decentralized and THERE IS NO CEO.   What a tool-shed!  The sad part is I'm pretty sure that is the OP's real mug-shot.

Fuck you dick-weed.  It is 100% true that this guy is CEO of Bitcoin.  You can simply go fuck yourself sideways if you art too lazy to figure it out.  Yeah, its my real mug shot - wtf?  Where's your fat photo of you in your mom's basement?  I spread very important truths - just because you don't agree with them you call them FUD.  That is bullshit.  When you can't form an argument because of your limited intelligence, you simple call things you dont like 'FUD'.  Dumbass.

The man that OP referring is Morgan Rockwell, it is true that he is a CEO of a company named Bitcoin Inc

Only one fucking intelligent guy in the whole forum.  What dumpster fire with so many morons running around.

Sad to read, that you rolled back to your old patterns...

I'm leaning towards the first one.

Or... you are completely stupid.  What don't you get?  Are you saying this guy is not the CEO of Bitcoin?  Because if that is your assertion, you are dead wrong.  He is.  That is a fact.

maybe OP is wrong about CEO Status?

Not wrong.  This guy is the CEO of Bitcoin.  It is in the public register.  It is a clear fact.  This isn't open for a debate or negotiation.  Just go to the Secretary of State in Nevada website and look for yourself. 

The guy might be CEO of something and it might even be some company called bitcoin but Bitcoin the cryptocurrency does not have a CEO and that's what you seem to be getting at with your post. Hence my assumption is Troll.

[fattyforhire]

Every news and every word in the news must be confirmed by official documents. What they say in YouTube and write in social networks, can and should be questioned. That's my opinion, sorry.

[jsmithuk]

The charges seemed pretty flimsy, but you wonder if the authorities suspected other nefarious behavior and this was the easiest crime that would stick.

[rodskee]

awst if this is true this is really realy bad news for us but that truth is only now i heard have an bitcoin ceo, as far as i concern bitcoin as decentralized currency its annymous nobody can control using the computer technology, sorry op i think that's news is fake because everyone can create a news to makes people become panicking.

[Verona25]

They really want Bitcoin to grow up because they bought bitcoins long ago and I hope to make money.

[coinwizard_]

This looks like a sting operation for selling hash oil and most likely he was secretly selling something else. Without proof they just got him for money laundering rather than hard to find drugs

[motoprose]

For details, here’s the video interview with the person that was arrested.

Are you seriously rebumping this stupid thread Verona25?
You should of just let it die.

Within the first 2 minutes you can tell this guy is on meth or something like this that fries your brains. Rockcoons?
I shut it off.

[Pan Troglodytes]

I'm not a Bitcoin expert but as far as I know they  aren't any chief executive officers

maybe OP is wrong about CEO Status?

or maybe the OP is joking... man if you opened the Twitter or LinkedIn link: this guy claims to be the CEO of Bitcoin Inc. I am not sure if such a company even exists, but if it does, he may well be the CEO, anyway the whole OP is just a joke on that.

How can people even take it seriously and enter such a discussion?

The price is going to tank bigly when this gets out.  The US is arresting EVERYBODY!!!!

I am pretty sure this is the real end of Bitcoin.  You can't have your CEO in jail and expect things to get done.

Actually when i heard the news im shock, that the CEO of bitcoin is being arrested but when,i read the full story this man is an impostor ,and claiming that he is the chef executive of bitcoin but the real thruth he is fake and only using the name of bitcoin in a shame,while on the other hand when i search those link in the youtube that in the statement given,of using the money laundering of bitcoin why those person claiming that he is the CEO is accusing of selling illegal drugs instead of money laundering, so therefore i thinks this news is hoax and no relevant.

I don't think so that Bitcoin has a CEO now so that is why i'm thinking if this event is just a drama and this guy is an actor. Another form of FUD i guess except if someone tell me that this guy is Mr.Satoshi Nakamoto then maybe i will 100% to believe this crazy news but still true or not the future of Bitcoin will now depend upon the people who owns Bitcoin in which the true CEO of Bitcoin.

For each person there are different concepts of earning on the Internet, for example, I think that the investment is a fairly profitable income at home.

[adiksau0414]

I am not sure if i will panic or not but this news is something to have our eyes on. This is not good for the bitcoin community, especially now that biycoin is starting to rise again. I just really not sure if this is going to affect bitcoin really big, because bitcoin have its own body that can continue independently. Only if all the people holding bitcoin sells this is the real problem. This will be the start of the fall of bitcoin. Just like to other business or company, if someone just kicked out it can be replaced with the other more deserving person.

[tegarp90]

i though it was a roger ver.
