This guy gets 4 years for doing literally nothing except exchanging bitcoins for cash. No murder-for-hires. No drugs. Nothing but exchanging currency. Really? Four years?
And he owes $950K in restitution, and has an additional 3 years of supervised release after the prison term. Sentences in this country are out of control; assuming he pays back the money, IMO an appropriate sentence is 2 to 4 months for this "crime" (laff).
If this guy got 4 years for this, I'm sorry, but Ross is positively finished.

I know it's ridiculous but I'm afraid to click on a link to www.FBI.gov.

I guess I'm not understanding why he was arrested. Was it because he was acting as a currency exchange and that's illegal?
