At a minimum filing a false police report. I would have thought after the trial the cops would have followed up. There had to be suspicions early on this was phony.

Reporting a reasonable suspicion is one thing, collaborating to cook up a story is worth a prosecutor's time.

Is this temporary or are you stuck there?

What's going on with Homeland Security, Mt. Gox and Dwoalla? Did that come up at the conference?

Very thorough answer, thanks.

I've been following bitcoin for years. I worked for weeks on a lengthy piece about bitcoin only to have it pulled at the last minute by my editors who were bugging about Silk Road.

The case I made was the government should be encouraging and experimenting with digital currency instead of trying to fight it. Because if our government doesn't do it, some other government will come up with something like bitcoin redeemable for gold or cash. I'm actually surprised that hasn't happened already.
