Hey, let's stop arguing about discussing these silly points and get back to the major discussion.


Is there any other news or statements related to these arrests? Anyone here know them?

We will have to wait and see if they cop a plea or go to trial.

Are they in custody or were they released on bond?

If I'm reading things correctly at http://www.miamidade.gov/corrections/inmate-information.asp then both Espinoza and Reid are still in custody. To get out they need to prove at a Nebbia hearing that the bail premium/collateral is not from an illegal source.

Both criminal complaints had the Nebbia hearing notation.  Sounds correct to me.

Jesus, still not bonded out over selling some digital coins?  Getting treated like they killed somebody.

Florida is an ideal pro-dollars state. The reason is, it has lots of retirees who are on Social Security. Retire to Florida the saying used to be. And that's what thousands of elderly people have done.

The state has been living off the money those retirees spend, and neither the retirees or the state want anything to do with a form of trade that could destroy money and their way of life.

Think of it. If Bitcoin became popular, and people started using it in place of money in a big way, we could actually see a collapse of the money system. That would mean the collapse of both the resources for the retired elderly, and the state as well.

While this will not likely happen for some time, Florida is having nothing to do with it. They are "nipping it in the bud" so to speak, and trying to earn some free money off the accused, who probably won't get their money back even if the charges are dropped.

Great read +1

I never thought my life could be. Anything but catastrophe. But suddenly I begin to see. A "BIT" of good luck for me. Cause I've got a golden ticket!

For an explanation of Florida, just look for the Twitter feed of "Florida Man."  Basically, someone Googles for "Florida Man" and then posts the stories on Twitter, pretending they're about the world's worst superhero, a guy named "Florida Man."

Almost any news story with a "Florida Man" headline involves an insane, stupid act of some sort.

For instance, top hit on Google News currently:

Florida Man Arrested For FB Post Soliciting $100 Hitman to Kill a Cop

If you are in a bind, send up the Bat signal.  Do not call Florida Man.
