Bitcoin dealer from Michican arrested in undercover sting

According to law enforcement the Bitcoin dealer was using the website localbitcoins to sell hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Bitcoin without a license. Charges have been filed.

What are your thoughts on this? Does anyone else have more news on this case to share? Apparently a license is necessary to sell a large amount of Bitcoins outside of whitelisted channels like Coinbase.

This is all part of the plan by the bankers.

  1. Demonize it.
  2. Regulate it (which means putting it under banker control)
  3. Buy it

The government hacks are fulfilling their obligation for step two. What is ironic is that one does not need to go through a "dealer" for bitcoin. There are enough decentralized exchanges around that enables people to buy btc. Plus, as of this moment, coinbase/gdax operates in all states other than Hawaii.

Back to the banker plan:

  1. Isnt working
  2. Isnt going to work at all
  3. They are doing this behind the scenes.

I don't usually follow conspiracy theories but which bankers in specific?
