Michel Espinoza was arrested in February of 2014 after a very public and elaborate sting operation in Miami Florida. Michel’s arrest came after the North American bitcoin conference earlier in the year, and is the attempt by Florida law enforcement to test the question of whether bitcoin is money. Michel spent three months in jail before being released, and has kept out of the public space until this interview. Michel goes to trial on the 15th of June 2015. In this video, I discuss the case with Michel and his attorney, along with his side of the story and the events around his arrest.
