Does anyone else feel like this Bitcoin is no business of the government/IRS to take away? If all he did was steal from silk road, then why pick on him of all people. If anything he was making things harder for criminals. Also it's dumb that the government tries to tax Bitcoin. I understand for U.S. currency because they made and control it, but crypto has nothing to do with where you live. I am not happy about what the government has done here.
He got caught when cashing out part of the stolen bitcoin through a KYC exchange...
