Geez, I thought people would have learnt by now. Guy caught in Oct 2018, didn't he know by then? I mean, I'm all for the freedom of choice, go P2P all the way, etc. but if you're in the US and you want to live there then you have to live by the laws, like it or not. Or at least, don't get caught by being on LBC. Great place, great platform, just really, really shitty to use in the US!
The big lesson is never to assume that just because we are in cryptocurrency there is no more need to follow the law of the country concerning the conduct of business as there are things we have to first get approval first harsh as they may seem to us. On the other hand, the man is simply a fraudster selling something that never existed...for me 21 months is too small to pay for his mistakes. Morgan Rockcoons is one of the many causing others to assume that bitcoin is very connected with scams.
Er, no I don't think it's guys like him, but guys like you who read headlines and think 21 months is too small a price for buying and selling something we all own. Wait till you get charged retroactively for trading Bitcoin if your government one day decides its a crime, what will you think a fair sentence is?
