my mother works with a lady from Thailand and they are not illegal there

sounds like they are nothing but a mistake

This is an absolute tragedy an the accused need to be brought to justice.

Then it sounds to me cointellect is a SCAM

He deff needs to face justice one way or ANOTHER!

He needs to face charges and that is all there is to it. End of story!

I am sick of the crap that the USA keeps dishing out made up laws just to line there pockets and get there ways just so they can do the same exact things. Wrong just wrong!

Totally agree, nicely put and great idea!

Probably a foreign currency, and then there will start a whole new pile of crap to deal with. 

Just like every law, they want to hide it and sneak it under our noses. Slimy little politicians.

No let them do there business in private! Isn't that what bitcoin is about in the first place for the people not the government. I say stay out of our business and keep it tax free!

F the critics! We as a community need to rise up and make it the best it will ever become.

But wouldn't trying to claim your loss back mean that you were participating in illegal activity's

this might be the right or wrong step in the right direction. The wrong being a tax on bitcoin and more regulation.

That is crazy if it is really true and another negative outcome from this was the bad name it gave the honest bitcoin community

there should be a class action suit against them

This is absolutely observed, don't let them push you around. You have rights to!

good any protection we as a community can get is awesome!

Be careful seems suspicious

I had BTC there not a lot but still its enough to be pissed off about!
