Yes the guy is finally arrested.  I used to follow him. But once he started bashing Bitcoin, I just un-followed him forgot about him.

I just didn't care anymore what the clown had to say about Bitcoin.  When I heard the news of his arrest (tax evasion charge)  I just couldn't wait to share it with you all  Grin Grin

I don't understand why the charges are on tax evasion. I get it that the government wants in on the money, but isn't it immoral in the current situation? People lost money to scammy ICOs because of him! So facilitating financial fraud is what he should be accused of. Moreover, shilling is a crime under some jurisdictions, to that charge would be very appropriate. And on top of it all tax evasion, sure. I also don't understand how getting millions of dollars and not paying taxes + helping scammers to take lots of money from others is only 5 years of prison...
