I'm not able to load the link (it's a problem on my end I believe) but is this the Bit instant founder?
If so deepdot made a post about it the other day.

it's all about money laundering in the federal charges with processing companies.

This is a damn shame. So any company that moves btc from a money exchange can now get charged? That's what this is saying. Unless this guy did it somehow illegally at the time(when btc was barely regulated)
Why exactly is what bitinstant did illegal? What about all the other bitcoin buying sites? Is it because it was anonymous? I loved them in sr1 days. Go to walmart to wire the money, have the coins by the time I got back home. And it was at a more than reasonable rate.
