I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemies.
That being said, every night before bed I always wish upon a star for plop and OSA
Micon ran scared.
The appropriate course of action would have been as follows.
Get a lawyer
Sue the state Nevada prior to them filing charges, Bitcoins are property and thus tthe search was illegal.
Go to war when you get charges filed.
Best case scenario you win because Federal government deems Bitcoin property and not currency.
Worst case scenario you lose do like 3-5 or less with good behavior and probably end up with a Supreme Court case eventually declaring Bitcoin a currency and you are forever considered to godfather of Bitcoin.
I think Micon might view these items as win/win.
Hypothetically speaking, if a freelancer was to be contracted to make more videos like the one above, would there be any legal concerns?
Couple more thoughts.
-Micon's electronics were all seized. Do you think he had all this bitcoins backed up on a cloud somewhere? Do you think he had any offline on a usb hd that is gone for good?
-did Micon keep security priority #1 on his computer? Smart/savvy enough to have everything encrypted/etc incase the shit hit the fan? Or will there be some lol things in open text files ala Sony?
-what happens to Micon's house back in Vegas now. Do his/her parents take over and sell it ASAP? Does it get seized?
I think Micon rented.
This had nothing to do with bitcoins, it was about operating a gambling site.
And honestly when BTC was 1000+USD each, maybe that plan would have happened. But he basically had one card left to play with any measure of grace and he played it.
On a related note, look at how hes living. Hes near the beach in what appears to be a fairly affluent neighborhood. Now look at what those areas charge in terms of rent.
My point being; there is no money for lawyers. Not in the bank, not in his bitcoin wallet. All of that is earmarked for rent/food/health insurance/making Martha feel almost safe.
Honestly for me the most Micon thing about this is choosing Antigua, which is horrifically expensive if you dont want to live in a cinder block hut, instead of Costa Rica, which anyone with a middle class nest egg can retire to. Both are major internet gambling/gaming hubs, why in Gods name choose Antigua...?
Why wasn't Micon at least detained for 24 hrs giving the NGC time to analysis the stuff taken from Micons house? Seem like sloppy police work. They had probable cause or a search warrant would not have been signed off by a judge. imo, Micon seem's scared in his 5 minute video from his location in Antigua...
I kind of agree.
I still think that perhaps they had enough evidence to search but not enough to charge.
It's also possible that the main goal was to shut the whole thing down, and while they still plan to file charges, they aren't that worried if it turns into a fugitive on the run situation.
Or it was just sloppy police work.
My biggest question and what bothers me the most is, what kind of a plan does he have for his daughter? Education? how she will feel about this in the future? etc etc. Also, how does his wife feel about this? i mean, things like dropping everything and leaving her friends and family behind...
On its surface, it seems pretty damn selfish of him to make these moves if he hasnt thought about his family. I sure hope he has...
