Read AG Todd Blanche’s Memo Ending Crypto Regulation by Prosecution
Mike was unjustly sentenced to 45-Months of Federal Prison, plus over $500k in debt, for a frivolous “fraud” case that netted him $0, and had no victims.
9-Years of Injustice
The Obama and Biden administrations launched a nearly 9-year civil and criminal campaign against Mike, his companies, employees, and family. They ruined his reputation, mental and physical health, multiple companies, and put dozens of people out of work. Why? Because they saw him as a threat.
This is the most frivolous of cases: a parking ticket, jaywalking. Sworn testimony shows that 75%-95% of crypto trading in 2018 was fake. The SEC/DOJ pursued a case against Mike based on an allegation nearly 1/1000th of that!
Even after Executive Orders from President Trump, Memos from the AG, and the upcoming passage of the Clarity Act, holdovers from the Biden DOJ are STILL not backing down, and continue to pursue the case in the Appellate Courts.

The Goal: Make Crypto a Security
Mike's company, which had 60-employees, and $6 Mil in recurring revenue, created an open-source utility cryptocurrency called HYDRO in March 2018, and gave it away for free.
This was the perfect opportunity for the Biden administration to fulfill their ultimate goal of deeming crypto a security through the executive branch, without passing any legislation.
Why target HYDRO? Well, if HYDRO is a security, then EVERYTHING is a security!

The Tools: Lawfare by the Executive Branch
There was only one branch of government under President Biden. When the Legislative Branch failed to create any crypto legislation, the Biden Admin used the Justice Department, FBI, and Obama appointed judges to create law. Mike's case is the perfect example of this new era of lawfare.
Mike voluntarily agreed to a civil settlement that ruined his career. How was he rewarded? With a surprise dawn raid by six heavily armed FBI agents just two-days later.

The Mark: The Perfect Crypto Fall Guy
Picture this: a straight, white, male, conservative, Trump supporter, who wrote a book against the COVID mask and vaccine mandates.
Oh, and he started an open-source cryptocurrency in 2018 and gave it away for free. Unlike hundreds of others, who created blatant scams and bought Ferraris, Mike had no money to defend himself.
When FTX collapsed, this made Mike the perfect fall guy for crypto. Mike received an absurd 45-month prison sentence.
Mike is an outspoken conservative, who was targeted by Merrick Garland’s DOJ.
Mike’s case has it all - a Democrat operative whistleblower and DNC linked law firm, mafia style intimidation tactics, rats, millions of dollars in laundered money to the legal industrial complex, and an international fugitive. All Mike wanted to do was create a little open-source tech feature and help the world!
45-Months in Prison for $0
The Federal criminal justice system is irrevocably broken. There is a 99.6% conviction rate (Source) and extremely broad latitude for the Justice Department, working in lockstep with Federal Judges, to overcharge (so it’s impossible to beat every charge at trial) and impose harsh sentences based on ridiculous “enhancements.”
In Mike’s case, a $0 wire fraud charge, which typically has a probationary sentence, turned into a 45-Month prison sentence, due to an extreme “loss enhancement” enacted by the DOJ and judge for political reasons. This is not justice!
