“Many people in the Bitcoin community were shocked when they heard Charlie Shrem was arrested for allegedly laundering money for drug dealers from the Silk Road, but the moral, and perhaps even the legal, case against him is rather weak. While the US Government will definitely try to make an example out of Charlie, it’s unclear as to whether or not the average person on the street would agree that he should be thrown in jail for decades. After reading through the entire criminal complaint against Charlie Shrem, it seems that he is guilty of nothing more than ordering some pot brownies off the Internet.”
