Bitcoin Exchange Arrests By The US
Posted in: Today's Chili
Operators of a couple of exchanges for the virtual currency Bitcoin have been arrested over in the US. According to the Department of Justice, Robert Faiella, also known as BTCKing, as well as Charlie Shrem from BitInstant.com (the website is now defunct), are now facing charges of money laundering. According to the authorities, the two of them are part of a scheme which attempted to sell over $1 million in Bitcoins to users of Silk Road, which happens to be an online drug marketplace. The site itself was already shut down last year with its alleged owner arrested to boot.
