Bitcoin Trader Agrees To Work For Police In Plea Agreement
An anonymous reader writes: Florida Bitcoin trader Pascal Reid, who was arrested in a February 2014 sting operation as part of his plea agreement, promised to carry out 20 sessions of law enforcement training in Bitcoin as well as serve as a consultant in criminal cases involving Bitcoin. This is in addition to 90 days in jail with credit for time served and a $500 reimbursement to the State of Florida for the expense of prosecuting him. Qntra has a write up on the case and the full text of the draft plea agreement.
"Fuck this guy" because he is guilty....Do you know he is guilty by any other means than his pleading guilty?
Isn't the whole point of GPs comment that this could be YOU that was brought in on false charges (but maybe enough circumstantial evidence to make a full blown trial risky, or at the very least very expensive), they throw every possible charge at you so that you are forced to "admit" to a crime you didn't commit so as not to risk being completely ruined?
Then YOU are the guy that everyone is saying "fuck him, he's a real criminal" to.
