Charlie Shrem deserves tons of support.
In March of this year he said:
“We’ve seen high-profile politicians mobilizing in order to protect the financial and banking industry,” Shrem said. “The financial and banking industry wants to convince us that it’s only about illegal payments, that it’s about protecting the integrity of the status quo. It’s a pretext. We need to look at the big picture, Bitcoin is about something entirely different.”

The only thing Charlie did wrong was not get in bed with a Senator first.

Our system is corrupt here in the U.S. The life blood of our economy, our money, has septicemia.

Irwin Schiff is in the running for what I will someday name my sons. Now Charlie Shrem is being considered as well.

I, for one, would have no problem exposing ANY Bitcoiner in the higher hierarchy. Case in point, speaking about sucking dick, Brock Pierce, who's planning on overseeing the new Mt Gox, was accused and jailed for the same thing that Bruce Wagner was accused of, but never charged or jailed. The pressure was so overwhelming at the time that BW opted to leave the community. Now, we're embracing (no pun intended) some dude that's 10s Xs worst in re. the same accusations, not to mentions how he reneged in paying his partner millions while now in bed (figuratively, I'm sure) with one of his ex-rivals who, BTW, is part of the Save Mt Gox makeup (not sure if pun intended or not).

I bet we all can't wait for the day when we overhear strangers talking about a paedo- running that Bitcoin funny money exchange. Don't think for a second it won't happen. Far-fetched? Well, remember those who don't like to use the word fuck penned "Duck Mt Gox!"? Guess what? It happened!



And, you thought Mt Gox I was a laughing stock, wait till you get your fill of K2.

Let this dude Charlie fade into non-existence. Nothing positive can come out of his associating with Bitcoin.

maybe people have their reasons for thinking he's being turned into a scapegoat or that he's being prosecuted on things that big banks did on a massive scale while the whole world turned a blind eye, and for which none of those folks ended up in front of judge, thus making this prosecution pretty hypocritical.

He's no saint, but he does not seem to be getting a fair shake in our justice system relative to others who walked off on far worse without so much as a day picking up garbage. 

you may disagree, which is fine, although that doesn't change my opinion, mainly because you are seemingly just running a drive by to get a quick self-stroke out of pissing on other people's opinions

Brock Pierce, a (former) child Disney movie star, is that the same person?


Edit:
Brock Pierce never faced criminal charges (at least not in this story @the link), but he was named in a civil suit over 12 years ago.
http://articles.latimes.com/2002/may/18/local/me-den18

Now he's ~33 and is this the same guy who might be in charge of Gox?

EDIT #2:
I see it now....same guy.

Which is true, there are a lot of Wall St types that need to be in jail right now. But some people getting away with this kind of stuff isn't grounds for letting everyone get away with it, hypocritical or not.

The only bad thing about Charlie is his addiction.

He's one of the smartest actors out there. He can expose many people who're going against humanity.


If media connect him with Bitcoin, guess what's gonna happen.

"Charlie Sheen buying drugs with Bitcoins. Blah, blah"


I just love that man.



EDIT: Yeah, drugs are bad. You can see by yourself. Smiley

no, I agree that just because others got away with it doesn't give Charlie a pass if he is indeed guilty of laundering.  

I still do have to wonder if it's fair to stick this guy in jail for this and destroy his life if the same isn't being done to others.  HSBC moved a reported minimum of 880 million in known drug money, and had Mexico in it’s lowest risk category, allowing 670 billion to be excluded from the the monitoring system in place to prevent laundering.  So, somewhere between 880 million and 670 billion moved and nobody went to jail.  nobody was even arrested on that, as far as I know.

I see the flaw in my own logic on that, but do think he's getting dragged through the mud to be made an example of.  what the motivation is for that is anyone's guess I suppose, although I don't think the guy should end up in jail for this.

I used to use his service: Bitinstant. A couple of times I contacted their support and him personally. That was positive experience. From what I know he is a honest businessman.
I wish him all the best.

I wish him the best of luck, but when you are facing charges and your opponent is the US Gov't, your chances are so slim.   The odds are already stacked against you because the judge (who is supposed to be impartial), chooses what evidence and information is admissible, and often times, the jury does not even get the entire picture.   They get to hear what the judge wants them to hear.
