Florida Police Target In-Person Bitcoin Exchangers

“Espinoza is charged with felony violations of Florida’s law against unlicensed money transmitters – which prohibits ‘currency or payment instruments exceeding $300 but less than $20,000 in any 12-month period’ — and Florida’s anti-money laundering statutes, which prohibit the trade or business in currency of more than $10,000. Police also conducted a search warrant on his residence with an order to seize computer systems and digital media.  Also arrested is Pascal Reid, 29, a Canadian citizen who was living in Miramar, Fla. Allegedly operating as proy33 on localbitcoins.com, Reid was arrested while meeting with an undercover agent to finalize a deal to sell $30,000 worth of Bitcoins.”
