An ex-cop in New Jersey indicted last year for trying to sell
stolen bitcoin mining equipment has reportedly plead guilty.
Regional news service NJ.com reported today that Vincent Saggese
plead guilty to official misconduct and receiving stolen property after being
caught in a sting operation last year.
Saggese was charged in April 2015 after attempting to sell
a collection of stolen computer equipment that included mining products from
KnCMiner.
A 10-year veteran of the Plainfield Police Department, Saggese
faces a sentence of as much as five years probation and mandatory community
service.
