Not related to bitcoin whatsoever. Totally different story behind Liberty Dollar and bitcoin.

Liberty Dollar was created as alternative US Currency. They minted their own version of coins and printed banknotes with dollar logo etc.
In the end they were prosecuted for counterfeiting because the silver coins they minted were awfully similar to US currency.

Bitcoin is not similar to any known currency system, and it is not created by a company...
