    Wow, holy fuck, I never thought it’d happen. Even a broken clock is right twice a day I guess.

    This dude is about to have a very lucrative career.

      You’re saying it’s the right move to release a man convicted of (I believe) several counts of attempted murder?

                We don’t actually know as those charges were dropped. In this country you’re innocent until proven guilty, therefore he’s innocent.

                I’m not making any statements on his personality or character, just that he’s not guilty.

                  Absolutely, he is legally innocent of this, as the charges were indeed dropped.

                  However, it’s all publicly documented. You can read the DMs where all of this occurred if you’d like. It includes the transaction IDs and wallets in which this all occurred. The paper trail is all there. This happened, whether legally recognized or not. I do completely agree with you that he is legally innocent, but the evidence that this happened is overwhelming.

                  The reason he wasn’t found guilty of this specifically is because the prosecution, in the case in which he was found guilty, didn’t even include this in his charges, but instead used it as an example of his character in relation to the charges he did receive. Considering there was no actual murder that took place, they probably felt they had significantly better odds with other charges that they could easily get a guilty verdict (and significant sentence) with. This isn’t uncommon procedure.

                  Meanwhile, the Maryland case in which he was being charged in relation to this, was dropped once he’d already been found guilty in NY and sentenced to two life sentences.

                    I remember it all quite well. The reason he wasn’t charged is because the “hitman” was a fed and stole a bunch of BTC during the investigation. Agent Force could’ve easily fabricated evidence and planted it.

                    Maybe if the federal government could actually find someone committing a crime they could charge them and convict them but until they they can fuck right off and go make an example of someone that deserves it, like their shitty agent.
