The legal part of this all is only semi-interesting. It could go a bunch of ways depending on who initiated the whole thing. If its Ultimate Poker, you're dealing with brothers that are essentially Vegas royalty. Is this deterrance mostly? How much have they spent to investigate? Generally Vegas casino justice is brutal when its some slot mechanic or chip counterfeiter, but this is a bit different. All we'll ever know is the final resolution, not how they got there.

What is interesting is the Micon saga.

Didn't his Vegas adventure start out with him in bunkbeds with the caveman before Martha shortly joined him? Ending up again in a bunkbed in Nevada would truly be full circle.

As much schaudenfreude as this would bring me if I was Druff or Drexel, can you imagine what his ex-wife is thinking? Iirc, she was a mental health professional. Is she just laughing? Sad from a clinical perspective?

I cant recall if Martha was also married or just the neighbor.

I cant recall if she ever mentioned her family. Like, if she has a father still alive in the picture. Having dealt with many fathers, I just imagine him wondering how his lawyer daughter ended up in this spot. I imagine a scenario where he was like," youre doing what?" when she moved to Vegas and quit practicing. He probably thought she was making a horrible mistake. Then time passes, they have a beautiful granddaughter, bitcoin goes through the roof, and he's probably saying, "maybe this Micon isnt as much of an idiot as I thought?" Now, holy fuck. His daughter is married to an international fugitive.

The wife and kid part is what always made Seals such a bad idea for him. Single, fuck it. They kick down your door, I'm on the beach in Nha Trang 24 hours later fucking Vietnamese girls and trying to work out a deal from a non-extradition country.

If you have to do two years and come out and spend six months in an extended stay motel until you can get it together, so be it. Every single degenerate is a few bad decisions and a crazy girlfriend away from 6 months in a microtel. I'm all for going for it if it's just your problem if it blows up. But with a wife and kid, the stress would be killer. Didn't he lose his shit with panic attacks over a garden variety near miss car accident at one time? I seem to recall him struggling. That's 10 seconds. This shit is that on steroids as far as stressful. I actually am worried for him and his family. I hope he has the money to fade this and doesn't lose his shit mentally.

Even Snowden just had a stripper girlfriend. Assange just raped chicks. Lot easier to be on the run for those guys.

I've broke the law for profit when I didn't respect the laws. I don't judge him. Still, I always knew I was subject to the law even if I thought it was stupid. I think a whole bunch of laws are retarded, but that isnt much solace when they kick down your door. A bunch of 19 year-old kids on reddit that think youre awesome won't do you much good in a Nevada State Prison.


I think he was a dick to Druff and Drexel, and was progressively arrogant as time went on with his site, and it's amusing how dumb this crime was, but I hope he generally beats the rap. I'd coinsider anything less than a year with his family intact and not completely destitute as beating this. If he completely beats it, he's one charmed fucker. And he might be. I always thought he had better timing than he was smart. Wasn't great at poker, yet fell ass backwards into a few scores and a really profitable website sale. Not a financial genius, but once again great timing with bitcoin. College dropout who married two educated women. I always liked Martha, and his kid is cute and presumably healthy, so he has been charmed to this point. Maybe he hits yet another one outer? I always assumed he must be smarter than he let on and I just didn't get the method to his particular madness, but then he goes and does something this dumb.

I never found him that personally interesting back then. He was always too scattered. He'd have an interesting thread, but then the next thread was him trying to go viral playing Wii while pissing or something juvenile. I'm probably recounting that incorrectly, but shit like that.

But the trajectory of his public life has been interesting, and he's a bit of a snakeoil salesman, but he's not dangerous in a 10 year sentence way. He needs to get headsmacked out of the theoretical Alex Jones world of idiocy and humbled a bit, but I dont want to see him doing time with cartel runners. I think many here are conflicted about Micon. His arrogance was annoying, but he was likeable at times. I'm conflicted because I always cheer against authority, yet he treated guys I like poorly.

Whatever, it's been interesting to watch, and he will certainly attain slacker stoner hall of fame fuck the man first ballot status if he comes out of this one in the black when it's all said and done. Real grown-ups in suits holding press conferences about Bryan Micon. You've always said fuck the man. Them dudes in the suits, that's the man. Roll back into Vegas and beat the rap, and then you can take a bow. Even Todd=God would have to tip his cap to the horseshoe up his ass and gigantic balls if he finds a way to come out of this one smoking a pipe back in Vegas in his Hef jacket with no time and his Chairmanship intact. I know I would. Don't think it's likely.

As far as forum drama none of this is real life entertainment goes, it doesnt get much better than this.
