Interest DOJ charge...charged with operating an unlicensed money transmitting business and money laundering. "The 30-year-old was the target of an undercover sting that depicted him as being a prolific bitcoin trader who exchanged bitcoin for a butane hash oil manufacturer without complying with anti-money-laundering banking rules. He is charged with operating an unlicensed money transmitting business and money laundering. The case has reenergized the debate over how the virtual currency marketplace is regulated and whether such criminal prosecutions can stand up in court. Most cases have, but judges in a few prosecutions have taken provocative positions that bitcoin is not currency, suggesting that the debate is far from over." http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-bitcoin-prosecution-20180319-story.html

Interesting story. Mr. Rockcoons has been training military and other agencies about bitcoin. Bet he gets off all charges.
