re: The Bitcoin guy who was "busted" by the DEA says "Wasn't me, bro."

I know that's what the article says.

I've long since learned not to take a reporter's words as gospel.

I find half the time they don't even understand what they are reporting.

An earlier story on this said the seizure was from the transaction itself.

Which also makes more sense.

ETA: Even the full article is suggestive of what I just said: they seized the currency used in the transaction. Nothing more.
