Creator of ‘Liberty Dollar’ Sentenced to Home Detention

Economic Policy Journal

Bernard von NotHaus, who was convicted in 2011 of counterfeiting charges for minting and distributing a form of private money called the Liberty Dollar, has finally been sentenced.

U.S. District Judge Richard Vorhees upheld the conviction but sentenced 70-year old NotHaus to only six months house arrest. Federal prosecutors had asked for a sentence of between 14 and 17 years in prison.

  1. Federal prosecutors are assholes.

    It’s a nice change to hear there is still a Judge with common sense
    out there.

  2. Guilty of creating legitimate silver money(which the Feds should be doing) making the unconstitutional FRDs look bad. Can’t be allowed. Only the private banker Fereral Reserve is allowed to counterfeit money.
