[QUOTE="Juan Blanco, post: 1589759, member: 41665"]papermoney54- I don't understand your confusion. No, NotHaus [U]was[/U] found guilty of "[B]of making[/B], possessing, and selling his own coins {...} resembling and similar to United States coins; of issuing, passing, selling, and possessing Liberty Dollar coins; of issuing and passing Liberty Dollar coins intended for use as current money; and of conspiracy against the United States."

At the very least, wouldn't that make them [I]accomplices to the counterfeit operation[/I]? I also suppose they copped a plea but don't know what terms were. Hmmmm.
