Micon pled guilty today, in exchange for no jail time, probation, can file to have his record reflect a gross misdemeanor instead of a felony, $25,000 fine, and he agreed to allow Nevada to keep $900, 3 Bitcoins, and electronics that they confiscated.

The worst part of this to me is that Micon is taking the sting for simply being brave enough to admit what he was doing.  As far as I can tell, he merely put a friendly face and a front door onto an otherwise anonymous business.  Anyway, I'm just saying that I hope that the silent partners from seals with clubs who stayed anonymous and are completely off the hook are going to be paying micons fees and his rent and whatnot for a long time.

Nevertheless, it seems that things could have been a lot worse for Micon so in that sense there is good news here.  The man gets to stay with his family and avoid jail.
