I took a glance at the news but all I can see is that the bitcoin the woman held was linked to money laundering and that was why she was jailed. If after discovering her with such amounts of money and after investigation the bitcoin was not link to money laundering, she will be free.
Yes and money laundering is a big crime and that woman is certainly been held liable for her action. It was too sad that it links to Bitcoin and put it in question.
That was clear enough to say that bitcoin is not the reason and besides, it was not a crime to buy/sell even if it was not legal in the country. It is sad to know that some people use bitcoin as a tool for laundering which the government claims that it causes some criminal activities. It is against the law and that woman compromises everything she had and bitcoin reputation as well.
