CONCORD — A federal jury convicted Keene resident Ian Freeman on felony charges Thursday related to his cryptocurrency business.

The jury, which deliberated for about two hours Wednesday afternoon and resumed Thursday morning, returned to the courtroom shortly after 1 p.m., and its foreman announced the verdict.

A sentencing hearing is set for April 14. Prosecutors said Freeman faces a sentence of more than eight years in prison. He was not taken into custody, pending sentencing and a possible appeal.

Jurors found him guilty of operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business, money laundering and income-tax evasion, as well as conspiracy charges in connection with the money-laundering and unlicensed money-transmitting allegations.
