A New Hampshire man<\/a> was convicted Thursday of running an unlicensed bitcoin exchange business and laundering over $10 million in proceeds of romance scams and other internet frauds following a two-week federal trial.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors said Ian Freeman “created a business that catered to fraudsters” by failing to register his business with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network<\/a> as required by law, disabling \u2018know your customer’ features on bitcoin kiosks, and ensuring bitcoin customers didn’t tell him what they did with their bitcoin.<\/p>\n

Freeman’s lawyer, Mark Sisti, said Freeman actually warned people of scams and he helped businesses in the community.<\/p>\n

“We are definitely going to appeal,” Sisti said. “We appreciate the jury’s effort and time they spent on the case.”<\/p>\n

Freeman, 42, a libertarian activist and radio show host, was released pending his April 14 sentence and appeal.<\/p>\n
