it is up to the jury to decide whether Espinoza was guilty of money laundering — the undercover detective told him that the bitcoins were going to be used to buy credit card numbers stolen by Russian hackers.
Months later, Circuit Judge Teresa Mary Pooler agreed, saying Bitcoin was not “tangible wealth” and “cannot be hidden under a mattress like cash and gold bars.”
Correct, it can only be hidden hodled under birdbaths.
“Basically, it’s poker chips that people are willing to buy from you,” said Evans, a virtual-currency expert who was paid $3,000 in bitcoins for his testimony.
“The court is not an expert in economics; however, it is very clear, even to someone with limited knowledge in the area, that Bitcoin has a long way to go before it is the equivalent of money,” Pooler wrote in an eight-page order.
