there is very little law enforcement going on around crypto in general that is why crooks from all walks of life are stealing from newbies on daily basis.
Was Mark Karpeles a poor man living in a poor country? how about Ross Ulbricht, Trendon Shavers or Charlie Shrem?
How did Charlie end up in the list of three, mate?
As far as I am aware, he was accused of money-laundering because he failed to report to FINCEN the high volume of BTC purchased by of one of his clients (who sold it to his own clients on the now-defunct Silk Road).
he didn't just launder money he destroyed bitinstant in the process and burnt all its employees, customers, and investors.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitInstanthttp://www.coindesk.com/bitinstant-gets-hit-with-a-class-action-lawsuit-by-frustrated-customers/he didn't just fail to fill in a few forms either.. if you read the actual charges in the money laundering case he was actively complicit in the laundering of drug money from silk road to the point where he even overruled his own business partner (leaving a trail of email evidence) just to get at his precious shiney..
the guy is a greedy little troll who put money before everything else and he deserves what he gets.
just like the guys behind coinmarket.io who ripped me off along with many others.
