An Arizona bitcoin trader has been convicted for using the cryptocurrency to launder the proceeds of drug deals. Thomas Mario Costanzo, who goes by Morpheus Titania on Twitter and operated a peer-to-peer bitcoin exchange website, was found guilty of charges of five money laundering by a federal jury in Phoenix on March 28, according to a Justice Department announcement. The case stems from a previously reported raid in April 2017 by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, in which Costanzo was initially arrested for unlawful possession of ammunition that derived from a prior conviction. The DHS further seized Costanzo's cryptocurrency assets including bitcoin, ethereum and dash, and software pertaining to the tech.
