Libertarian activist and Free Talk Live co-anchor, Ian Freeman has been sentenced to eight years behind bars this Monday.
A real freedom fighter who is being oppressed for standing up for what he believes in.
You're viewing a single thread.
By failing to register his business with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network as required by law, disabling “know your customer” features on his bitcoin kiosks, and ensuring that bitcoin customers did not tell him what they did with their bitcoin, among other things, Freeman created a business that catered to fraudsters. By charging exorbitant fees, Freeman made more than a million dollars.
Freeman and his co-conspirators opened and operated accounts at financial institutions in the names of various churches including the Shire Free Church, the Church of the Invisible Hand, the Crypto Church of New Hampshire, and the NH Peace Church. Freeman instructed bitcoin customers, who were often victims of scams, to lie to the financial institutions and describe their deposits as church donations. From 2016 to 2019, he paid no taxes, and concealed his income from the Internal Revenue Service.
You have to pay your taxes.....

No one got a chance to vote for this "law", it was criminally foisted upon everyone. This law was made by a violent mafia and it is immoral to impose arbitrary rules on others so it is null and void.
Freeman made more than a million dollars.
It is not a crime to make more than a million dollars by defrauding no one.
Taxes = theft
The governmyth argues the church doesnt exist, yet documents filed in NH recognize it as existing. He did require KYC to sell on localbitcoins and the people who were scammed were told to lie to him and instructed on what to say and do to pass the KYC phone interviews he conducted. The governmyth went after him because he spoke out against them, not because he scammed anyone. Hell, one victim was still talking to the scammer and asked the fbi if they wanted their information and were refused. He is a political prisoner who's "crime" was standing up for liberty in the dictatorship the United States is becoming.
