Was he actively involved in money laundering, theft, fraud, or tax evasion?

Did the jury have reasonable grounds for voting to convict?

He sold Bitcoin without doing KYC and went to prison for operating an exchange. He sold Bitcoin to someone he knew was somehow involved with cocaine. I don't know how morally wrong what he did was, but legally it sent him to prison.

		This seems to be... WAI. And not just a guy getting punished for doing a few perfectly legal trades. It's hard to do all of the above by accident.
