“The federal judge in the Liberty Dollar counterfeiting case from North Carolina today upheld the jury’s March 2011 conviction of the alternative currency system’s founder, Bernard von NotHaus. (For an account of von NotHaus’ conviction, see: http://www.gata.org/node/9715.) The judge scheduled von NotHaus to be sentenced in December. Since the Liberty Dollar case seems to have involved a political challenge to federal currency law more than a serious counterfeiting scheme, and since the U.S. government already has seized all of Liberty Dollar’s assets, it may be hard to see the need to imprison von NotHaus.”
