> After pleading guilty last week, Voits now faces up to ten years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. Voits also had to forfeit all the electronics equipment he used to carry out his attacks — a laptop, four phones, one circuit board, and an undisclosed amount of Bitcoin.<p>1. This is a real shame; he's clearly a fairly intelligent person who has possibly just wasted a decade of his life. I hope the sentencing will be lenient, and he'll be able to enter society without too many hiccups upon release, though the U.S. isn't great at either.<p>2. What does the bitcoin have to do with his attacks? If it was just in a wallet on his forfeited computer, what will happen? That could set an interesting precedent, in regards to unrelated bitcoin on seized electronics, if there isn't a precedent already.
