After the Bitcoin vanished from the device held by the IRS, agents found a photo on Gary Harmon’s cellphone showing him grinning in a tub full of cash at a nightclub.
Gary Harmon, 31, was sentenced Thursday by US District Judge Beryl Howell in Washington, DC, where he pleaded guilty in January. He also agreed to forfeit crypto currencies and other property valued at more than US$20 million, the US Justice Department said.
Prosecutors say he used 68 Bitcoin as collateral for a US$1.2 million loan, and spent some to buy a luxury condo in Cleveland. Prosecutors and Harmon’s lawyer differed over the level of sophistication required to pull off the theft, court filings show.
