Interesting. He apparently lived in San Francisco in the Mission and rented a room for $1000/month. For someone who should have had $80 million in profit, that seems a bit strange. I suppose cashing out $80 million in bitcoin and then laundering must be incredibly difficult.


It helps to provide cover. He's just another 20-something in the bay area. One of the smarter moves he made, some of the others not so much.


Walking around buying houses in cash might raise some red flags, however, maybe he just liked where he was living?
