UK - UKIP party aid (22 yrs) caught in FBI sting for money laundering on "Dark Web"

UKIP, a prominent party in the UK. One of its aids got caught in a money laundering sting with the FBI. Unfortunately I can only link to a horrible website, the Daily Mail. I am sure more details will come through soon.

One of Nigel Farage's closest aides faces years in a US jail after allegedly being caught in an FBI sting. George Cottrell was arrested and led away in handcuffs as he and the former Ukip leader got off a flight in Chicago. Cottrell, who runs Mr Farage's private office, is in custody awaiting trial on 21 charges including attempted extortion, money laundering and fraud.

The 22-year-old, whose former glamour model mother once dated Prince Charles, is accused of offering to launder money for drug traffickers after advertising his services on the 'dark web' - websites that offer privacy because they cannot be traced and need special software to access, some of which are frequented by paedophiles, criminals, hackers and terrorists. But the 'drug traffickers' he is alleged to have dealt with were undercover FBI agents. Cottrell, grandson of late Yorkshire landowner Lord Manton, was arrested last month as he and Mr Farage were returning from a series of engagements at the Republican Convention in Cleveland, Ohio.

Typical idiot if you dont mind me saying, and younger than some of my pubic hairs.

Following a meeting with the undercover agents in Las Vegas, Cottrell arranged for them to send him £15,500, which he planned to pocket, the indictment alleges. He is alleged to have then attempted to blackmail the ‘drug traffickers’ by demanding £62,000 in the form of bitcoin – a virtual online payment system – saying he would alert the authorities if they refused.

This wonderbread motherfucker has got a serious set on him. He stole cash from drug traffickers and then tried to blackmail them!!! What a pair of balls on him.
