Sonny is now a free man who has repaid his debts to society.
What about the ~$20m he scammed from his mail fraud victims that was never recovered? I doubt that's been repaid.
How do you think he got the funding to start this endeavor?
He probably only found out about bitcoin when he was looking for a place to stash the millions he scammed from his last business...
Now he has a kush scam setup going... all money is immediately in bitcoins meaning you don't have to go through the trouble of money laundering.
