This is disgusting, what else can I say. I am sorry BurtW that this has happened to you and thanks God I don't live anymore in the US, the land of free, the land of opportunity(this I say with the highest degree of irony, of course).

I hope you will get back in your feet somehow. I surely hop you are not done with Bitcoin. I also wish that you fight those a**holes with the best attorneys possible, unfortunately I don't see how this will be possible when you are essentially going against the government.

Good luck!

You are a lucky guy, Uncle Sam took from you only money, not your life nor beloved ones as he did to millions of innocent people around the globe. Say fuck you to your passed ancestors whose deeds led to the current state of things, say sorry to native americans who were slayed to free the space for newcomers with guns. And better run off the land of the free...

Maybe try to Crack that wallets private key, if it is found then you can have your money back.
But possibly it's never gonna happen.

They dropped all charges for a payment of 186 BTC plus about $40K in cash.

Since they dropped all charges I got everything else (including my remaining BTC) back.

I sent them a message with the blockchain.

It's included in this OP_RETURN:

OP_RETURN 53504b6d2e7668cb50a8928442fbf6260098004f32515afd8dd22e1207d857e5ed572fb4a1ed963 9

When decoded in sparkbit it reads



Creative, interesting and fun!

What reason are they showing for having 186 BTC plus about $40K in cash ? Tax evasion ?

They aren't required to show a reason.

Their "reason" is:

"We agree to drop the charges, and you agree not to try to recover this $80,000 worth of cash and bitcoins from us.  If this agreement is not acceptable to you, then we will take this to court and you can pay a lot more than that in legal fees while risking the chance that you'll lose the case and spend a significant time in jail."

You can read all about it here:

www.burtw.com

www.jmwagner.com

and, of course, here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=934268.0

tl;dr:  I was charged with operating a money transmittal business without a licence for my trading activity on localbitcoins.com. (profile)  

Defending myself cost me almost $300,000.  We had to mortgage our house and cash in our retirement savings in order to pay the three separate law firms I had to hire (one for the criminal case against me, one for the plethora of civil cases against the seized property and one for the possible IRS case against me).  However, since I have paid all the taxes on my gains from Bitcoin trading and mining there is no tax evasion.  

BTW:  none of the expenses involved, physical damage to our home during the search and seizure, damage to our business, attorney's fees, the $80K forfeiture, etc. are tax deductible.

That's just disgusting that they can do that to you. It's not even close to fair and doesn't feel legal to me.

All of my localbitcoins.com transactions were cash in person trades at a local coffee shop.

I remove myself from localbitcoins completely, I advertise there but that's the extent of it. The way it is setup now makes it too easy for criminals and undercovers .
