I was arrested for trading Bitcoins, on Localbitcoins.com, in Colorado.
So far defending myself has cost our family almost $200,000
We can use all the help we can get, please see the fundraising web site put up by my wife Jean:
http://www.burtw.comIt's a bit unbelievable that you spent $200k on legal defense. Perhaps you mean you've lost $200k in assets due to government seizures?
I think the best lawyer would 'only' cost $10-20k.
Anyways, best of luck, it's a truly frightening situation.
Obviously you have never had to hire TWO good federal defense firms, one for the criminal felony charges and the other for the civil forfeiture. As I said, my defense is approaching $200K, this does not include the property (money, Bitcoins, etc.) they seized and want to keep.
