That is actually not true: read the article I linked.

Also, here's the Oregon law on the matter: http://www.leg.state.or.us/ors/164.html

I'll quote the relevant section (164.015):

Quote

(2) Commits theft of property lost, mislaid or delivered by mistake as provided in ORS 164.065;

Furthermore, because its value is greater than $1000 (164.055), it counts as a theft in the first degree.

Ahh now this is interesting. Seems BenDavis is on the ropes. Now the only question I have if because this is international if things get legally mucky.

Bro, the transfer has no monetary value. If I send you 1000000 BTC, they have NO VALUE. Until you sell them. Patrick is going to have a BITCH of a time trying to get any court to prosecute me. I welcome the challenge. He will spend WAY more than 511 worth of BTC at an exchange rate of 8.5 on his lawyer fees lmfaoooooo

You really think cops are just going to show up at my door and cuff me, put me in jail? You guys are smoking something bad!!!!!!
