I guess I’ll just have to take one for the team. I’ll take it.
Bwahaha 😂😂
That is Why China wants to Sponsor Bitcoin Currency…❓❓❓

GOOD!! These idiots are the social media influencers making teenagers so stupid they think they never have to work and will just be rich by being on social media. Shut them down. BYE!
Wow, now we can pay for infrastructure!
Big difference between 3.6 Billion and 1.2 Trillion
Sorry, I had to watch that Rap Video like four times……
Why isn’t the money going back to the people the hackers stole it from??? Where is the justice here?
Exactly what I was thinking! The government seized it, so are they gonna give it back? Or keep it?
@Mike Salty sailor they’ll give back HALF….just like when they do civil assets forfeiture on innocent people with proof that the money is legal…..besides,it’s not justice,the government just wants there TAX cut!!

The lesson is don’t steal, the government hates competition.
justice for the best president jovenel moise justice for haïti
Should’ve gone to jail for those awful videos.
Ikr
They ain’t getting any time. Gonna prolly get probation, book and movie deals
Yep, PIECES of excrement 💩 WILL somehow it profit FROM this. .
Need to be strung up I tell ya& I’d “BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR!!✔️🤣
Who remembers that sh*t?🤣✔️
Merrick Garland goes after people nobody every heard of and leaves the biggest criminals in American history walk free. PATHETIC.
I would only assume it was just easy for them to catch these two people. Shouldn’t matter if we have heard of them or not. That’s two more off the streets.
I agree with C William. I don’t want to hear any more law enforcement BS until they bring all these insurrectionist to justice
The ability of this crypto influencer to utter the words “I don’t know the bottom” puts him in the top 1% in my book! I’ve yet to find a more honest crypto YouTuber than Bryan Eric Jamison It’s so refreshing to find someone to listen to about crypto that’s not shilling a coin or full of hopium with crazy predictions to get views. His skills set is exceptional There is no valuation for just how good his Trading platform is. I am already growing my 16btc from October till date>🙌🏻
how can i reach him ?
……
The best strategy to use when trading bitcoin is to trade with an expert who understands the market as their own farm and make maximum profits. Thanks
his contact information is above the comment section
They really thought they got away with it.
Not over yet
Wait until the 5 major banks start working with law enforcement files to devalue every block chain linked to criminal activity!
Those bars are catching on
Everyone look around, the GOP is the party of the working class.
Government finna enjoy that 3 billion
DOJ arrests couple that stole $3.6 billion fake coin!
Was it worth $3.6 billion before or after the crash? If Elon Musk sends out a tweet that drives the prices down will this be a misdemeanor or a felony?
Trump extorted Ukraine for personal gain. Mueller said Trump committed 10 counts of obstruction of justice and can be charged. DoJ goes after fake coin bandits.
jews for trump 🇺🇸
Must be out of your mind lol goodluck with that
Sausage holes for Trump
What about the people that went to Epstein Island I Wana hear about that!
Outlaw crypto.
So the government just seized $3.6BIL in bitcoin? Interesting 🤔
Bitcoin is just a pedophile ponzi scheme. The fbi knew from day one . About epstien too , and the cheer coach. The FBI is definitely infiltrated by the pedophile mafia
Yup!! Why regular money is best. F bitcoin. I hate crooks…
Hope they never see street light again this billions if they was black 🖤 they never see street again hang up please it’s too much money missing
They should’ve arrested the people who made cryptoland
They finally got Nancy Pelosi and her husband? Yes!!
Still can’t arrest Trump no matter what he does Smh
REGULATIONS ON CRYPTO AND CATCH MORE OF THESE HACKERS.FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NEED TO USE THEIR SECURITY TO MONITOR ALL EXCHANGES SO CRIMINALS THINK TWICE BEFORE HACKING
SHIBA WILL DUMP WITHIN A YEAR OF LESS
What about going after federal reserve presidents who are insider trading…
Hollyweird will promote anything for the right amount. They should just stand on a corner it would be more honest.
Screw non U.S. currency Screw Bitcoins
Then what will happen with the money?
so how much did they actually transfer to real cash? was it just the recent drop in bit price and the full amount was recovered? or did they actually get some of it at the end…
Lmao just another excuse to keep some free cash for doj .they will write it off like drug bust and keep. Lmao never once giving it back to rightful owners. ROFL don’t see or hear anything about the real owners NOPE and you won’t . Just like they break into private bank deposit boxes and keeping with NO REASON or no intention to repay.
THE MERCENARY by former 2 REP FFL Sniper VIVE LE MORT VIVE LA GUERRE VIVE LE SACRE LEGIONNAIRE now streaming and on Amazon Prime/
The dollar is ancient and a source of inflation
this is a lie
3.6 billion today 4.5 billion tomorrow 5 dollars over the weekend and then 500 trillion Monday morning. lol
YES!
Trump would have asked for a donation and given a pardon🤷🏽♂️
who cares
The Department of Justice just cashed in.
I’ve been wondering what Garland’s been up too!
This just the government trying to control is yet again. With someone as a just a example to not go against the US government.
Can we have a more information about Crypto Currency!
crypto is just another get rich quick fantasy. In the end you end up with less than you start with.
FBI and CIA have laundered and stolen much more than that. Where is the report on that?
Meanwhile trump and his corrupt coup runs wild in America
Guess they’re going to make bitcoin song behind bars ! 😂
Sweet, it has begun. 🤣🤣🤣 and borders are closed. All the financial criminals who have been hacking are about to get a few knocks on the door.
He looks like the guilty one.😎
These idiots don’t seem like they could have stolen a snickers bar between the two of them. Something smells fishy with this story.
So DOJ got to keep all the bitcoin money that they seized from these two couple?
Idiots, money is money, why would u risk it, if u have no money, go for it
Mayweather can’t even afford to pay Logan Paul so not surprised he’s doing adds.
Cryptocurrency is worse than guns.
The real crime, was Heather’s social media and rap videos 💩
I’ve been around for more than 1/2 century and I have seen my share of stock market contractions. Saw the birth of video gaming, and the birth of the internet, to name a few. Now, I get to witness the birth of blockchain and Crypto, and I can personally attest that Crypto is a completely different beast from the US stock market. 100% agree that there should be a guarded approach to crypto investing. You may not win hearts and minds of everyone, but you have and are earning respect for telling the truth and trying to help others to look out for themselves. I’m super picky who I listen too for crypto analysis.. I have made over 16` btc from day trading with Judith Sherwood Signal in few weeks, this is one of the best medium to backup your assets incase it goes bearish..
A lot has changed and that’s on everything but the truth is that i don’t even care much about bullish or bearish market because Judith Sherwood got me covered, I am comfortably earning monthly
I remember when I made 6 btc trading with Judith Sherwood when it dropped DOWN to the $57k “bone zone”.
I will forever be indebted to Judith Sherwood, I was able to build a massive income stream during the covid-19 pandemic trading with her. She revolutionized my trading experience.
Wow! So nice to see others who trade with Judith Sherwood, Currently I own a well-diversified portfolio (over $400k) with the help of Judith Sherwood.
Judith was my hope during the ‘bear summer’ last year. I did so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from Judith Sherwood. She is my number one source when it comes to crypto and TA.
