Big thanks to the multiple dozens of supporters who came out from as far away as Nevada today to attend my sentencing for the Crypto Six case in federal court in Concord, NH. Surprisingly, the judge was only able to get through part of the sentencing and postponed it three more weeks until my attorneys have a chance to argue why he shouldn't order restitution. Of course, one major reason is none of my "crimes" had a victim, but that's not stopping the prosecution from pushing for me to pay the price for what scam artists did to elderly victims.
It's worth noting that, as we learned at trial from their own witnesses, the feds never bothered to investigate the scammers at all. Instead they disingenuously got some of the scam victims to believe that *I* was somehow behind the scams, which is absolutely absurd and backed by zero evidence. However, the poor victims clearly want to blame someone and for someone to be punished for what was done to them, and I'm apparently the scapegoat.
My attorneys, Mark Sisti and Richard Guerriero, have two weeks to file their arguments. Meanwhile, I'm still out on bail restrictions. Prosecutors are pushing for a maximum sentence of 20 years, and $20.5 million in "forfeiture", and more in "restitution". All for selling bitcoin without asking government permission.
If you're able to come out for the second and presumably the final sentencing date, I would appreciate it! The next date is October 2nd at 10am, at 55 Pleasant St. in Concord, New Hampshire. You will need an ID to get into the federal courthouse, and recording devices are not allowed.
Here is some media coverage from today:
• Associated Press report, which kindly mentioned the awesome standing ovation I received upon entering the courtroom.
