It is not because of Bitcoin put her in jail but it was her fraudulent actions. That won't give her an excuse as she commits a crime and it is not just a small crime but big enough to go to jail.
If she does nothing evil, even if she shows it to the authorities nothing happens to her. I think she deserves that as she can't be happy while others are suffering and this serves as a lesson to other individuals who are also committing the same crime to stop it.
