What is Burt's Family? I don't understand the BTC tie-in. Thanks.

The U,S. Government dismissed the sole charge of operating an unlicensed money transmitting business in connection with Burt's trading of Bitcoins for investment purposes. Proving that the U.S. Government polices for profit, the U.S. Government also kept our cash and Bitcoins totaling over $80,000 to put in their unconstitutional Federal Asset Forfeiture Fund. They stole from us to pay themselves, bypassing Congressional allocations and violating their own asset forfeiture policies.

Interesting. I have read of similar cases. It sounds like the money transmitters like MoneyGram, WesternUnion, etc. have a powerful lobby on the local and federal level. Should be an interesting event. Thanks.
