There’s not much good one can say about the FBI’s raid on the LRN.FM studio that occurred a week and a half ago now, but there is one great thing that has come from it all. Thanks to the FBI’s raid of 19 properties over the supposed use of cryptocurrency the story has garnered national and even international attention. It has brought together a community that some would even say was in disarray. We have seen a significant amount of support from both inside and outside of the libertarian community even. Not only has this attention helped to raise a significant amount of money to fight bogus charges, but it has brought attention to the larger freedom migration movement. This spike in interest can be directly tied to these raids and many people who had not previously known about the Free State Project or the larger liberty migration movement are now looking into moving. In the first week of the raid I talked to a handful of people who expressed a desire to move to New Hampshire and some of which have already begun putting bids on houses, initiated rental contracts, and one has even already made the move as of today. Even should everyone be convicted I can’t conceive of any way in which these raids will end up being a detriment to what we’re trying to achieve in New Hampshire. For every arrest we see dozens of new movers. To those who were arrested I want to say thank you for being the leaders we should all strive to be.

Finally! Now these people will not be harassing grocery store employees or protesting out the governor’s home.
Jumping Jacks: You make me laugh. Nothing has changed. The crypto meetups continued, new protests occurred, and there are still plans to continue the ‘harassment’ of the governor since he’s not free’d us from the oppressive state he leads.
This site is still being updated too b So you mean to tell me every problem in Keene and the state of NH hasn’t gone away now that Ian has been locked in the cage? *Shock and awe*. Is freedom activism decentralized or something?!
Oops! Looks like the haters need to go back to the drawing board!
One good way for grocery employees not to be harassed is for them not to intiate the harassment themselves. That is usually good practice: leave people be and they will oay you in kind.
Protests will not only continue but they will intensify. The normies are waking up.
If you didn’t think that we were all living in a hell that’s worse than Nazi Germany ever was… well wake the f up! Time to shoot back is now. The feds are the standing army that the founders warned us against.
Yes, the FBI is watching you. 🙁
Good. Fuck the FBI and all of the other alphabet agencies.
Finally, Keene NH is going to get rid of the trash of the crypto 6. The FBI did their jobs perfectly. I think Keene is going to have a city BBQ for this. The first video is hilarious. Some idiot freekeener with a camera trying to push the PD around. It looks like the freekeener was the one pushed out. The second video of some idiot trying to get badge numbers and names doesn’t seem to be working for him. freekeeners who stand around yelling about nazi Germany and all this other BS is the icing on the cake. You… Read more »
Persona Equis: The situation was such that the grocery store in Keene anyway, the co-op was utilizing violence on those who came in either not wearing a mast, or more often than not wearing a mask, but for good reason temporarily pulled a mask down, such as in the incident where a women was trying to tend to her baby while shopping. It’s one thing to ask somebody to leave and it’s another to call the police on them. I’ve respected business owners who requested I put a mask on or leave. It’s their property and I respect their rules.… Read more »
Lawrence: Hey man- I feel ya, but while I don’t think using violence in defense is outside the realms of libertarian values the strategic value in that is zero or near zero. We have less violent paths we can follow and should be leading by example in our fight against tyranny. There may be a day when violence is necessary, but you should avoid using that option until there is nothing left other than a violent reaction, and on that day you want to be prepared. Arm yourself, but resist the temptation to utilize violence to achieve your objectives even… Read more »
One would tend to think since Ian had all that stolen money, why didn’t he fix these places up? All freekeener places look like dilapidated buildings right on the verge of collapsing in on itself. “It looks like the freekeener was the one pushed out.” Correct and there have been two successful lawsuits against Manchester PD in the last two years over this exact illegal behavior. You can’t interfere with media reporting on a situation. They can make you move back a reasonable distance, but pushing back the media another block beyond what would make the building visible, particular when… Read more »
“One would tend to think since Ian had all that stolen money, why didn’t he fix these places up? All freekeener places look like dilapidated buildings right on the verge of collapsing in on itself.” Ian didn’t have any stolen money. He wasn’t accused of stealing money. He at most was accused of allowing others to defraud people, but that wasn’t true. That is a bogus and completely false allegation. It’s slander, or libel. The guy wouldn’t sell to people he thought were either committing crimes or being deceived. If a little old lady came up to him trying to… Read more »
Pick your team kk… maybe you already have, and you’re out of your league commenting here. Waste of good light. I’m not afraid to make things dark fit anyone who challenges freedom. You, well keyboard warrior, your puny self won’t stand in my way in the slightest. Threat or not stay out of my way for living peacefully and you won’t get the war you are begging for.
Lawrence: I guess all know who the agent is here.
Hey Jacks. While you and the rest of the libtard weirdos were dominating and owning the conversation, I took your suggestion to heart this afternoon and accessed the online registrar at River Valley Community College. I couldn’t find any of those “human classes” you were jibber-jabbering about but I did note they offered an AS degree program in “Human Studies.” You think that’s close enough, munchkin? Oh, and by the way, big guy, I’m still awaiting that apology. I know. I know. You’re not accustomed to saying you’re sorry or anything seeing as you once did your clinicals in a… Read more »
You have no degree. Why would I ever take academic advice from an idiot like you? Why would anybody?
kk – Sorry KK. I have to believe what the news media has been saying. Ian had a lot of money. He could have fixed these places up. instead he tried to hide his money illegally. That is what got him caught. I’ll bet he thought spending money on the properties he owns would draw attention to his bankroll. Yes, Ian stole money. He defrauded those who bought into his cryptocurrency scheme. He also laundered money. He is looking at a minimum of 10 years to life. His track record is not good with multiple misdemeanors and I believe one… Read more »
ANother subject but I need to know the date of the arrests at Sununu’s house. Thanks
The keene pd; Jason short, was there. They could gave the FBI a heads-up: “we know this guy; there Is no need for the military smashing the door in at 5AM”…
Or they could have said we won’t be a party to this this is unnecessary just come in and we’ll do it in the middle of the day and we’ll get Ian and he’ll come out and that will be it.
THIS IS TO JACK; UR INPUT OR RESPONSE ISN’T NECESSARY; I DON’T WANT TO HEAR YOUR FUCKING SHIT
Ha ha ha. That was absolutely insane, Jacks. I mean you were all over the map with that last post, weren’tcha? Especially with all that hooey about “grooming.” I spit out my coffee when I read that part. Ah that brain thing of yours. A mixed bag of totally hilarious and totally sad, huh? Say, you ever consider taking amphetamines to help out with that? I hear Joe Biden’s been swallowing them by the handful these days. Of course he totally fucked up that press conference thingy last week, so I guess the jury’s out on those things. Anyway, about… Read more »

I’ve read the indictment and it says everything I was saying. You can continue to float around in your Disney fantasy trying to hide from reality. freekeene was given a big black eye. No cryptocurrency venders will want anything to do with you. Yep, Ian took freekeene down a dark path. Yes, Ian did groom the others into following his criminal ways. I am more than sure they regret it now. I seriously doubt Ian even cares about the other 5 people.as he tap dances around the cellblock. When he goes to federal prison, he will be the prime target… Read more »
This is for Ian and the other losers of the crypto6 Enjoy!!!

Bob & Tom, huh Jacks? Wow. That was pretty weak. Personally, I would have went with something from Opie & Anthony. Ever listen to their “Baby Bird” stunt? Fucking hi-lar-i-ous.
Anyway, munchkin, I’m guessing you’re expecting us to be all butthurt and stuff, right? Hoping maybe we’ll even respond in kind with some sort of “Corky” compilation – you know, the retarded kid who starred in that ’90s show Life Goes On? Well nuh-uh, fuck nuts. Not on my watch. Ha ha. I’m just kidding, big guy. This means war! So here’s lookin’ at you, kid!

my idea would be to ignore jack and don’t click his links… but that’s just me… i guess the site needs a opponent but only if it wasn’t such a horrible person.
Having a differing view, I’m all for.
But jack is just… Just a horrible person
Jesus Christ, David. With that kind of attitude it’s easy to see why Jacks and the rest of the libtard weirdos are always trying to bend you queers over the laundry sink.
Amazing video! Great job everyone. Keep up the good work. Can’t wait to get to NH.
David Crawford – Now upi are telling people what to do. Typical freekeener BS. It sounds like I struck a nerve with you. Are you truly this paranoid or do you just make it up as you go. I realize you are going to stand up for your idols especially Ian. Don’t you ever think he may have ripped you off a well? Do you honestly believe if the circumstances were reversed Ian would be doing anything to support you? I’m quite sure he would hang you out to fry. That is the kind of person he is. My God,… Read more »
Psst, Jumping Jacks telling others to chill while he rants and raves, makes stuff up and goes into a frenzy at the hint of blood… Perfect 😉
Mr. Freeman has been denied bail and will sit in jail until his trial. The same happened to Mr. Cantwell. Then Cantwell was convicted and sent to Federal Prison. Federal prosecutions have over a 98 percent conviction rate. Having a non violent background, Mr. Freeman is more likely to go to a Low or Minimum Security Federal Prison where Mr. Cantwell is headed to a Medium or Maximum Security Federal Prison.
Thanks. Best I could get before was the 29th.
Live Free or Die your 98% conviction rate claim is false. Care to try again? I believe what you meant to say is that 98% of cases never make it to trial.
OK-to be more exact: over 90 percent of federal defendants plead guilty. Of the 2 percent who go to trial, 83 percent are convicted and 17 percent are acquitted. So, the chance of being acquitted is .0034
Intrigare obviously gets it, LFoD. What he’s try to get you to acknowledge is that when the Feds stack enough charges with long sentences on their prey, then even the innocent ones will bend the knee once a plea’s offered.
Federal prosecutors have a long history of using this sort of leverage on defendants to falsely pad their conviction records and railroad the innocent. This doesn’t serve the interests of justice, LFoD. It only bloats the egos and salaries of what are otherwise useless federal employees.
Live Free or Die: There is actually still a chance of Ian being released on appeal of the bail hearing. It may be 5-6 months, but for a case that will likely not see a conclusion for another 2 years it’s possible that he does get out. I wouldn’t hold my breath on that, but it’s theoretically possible still.
The judge citing, as a reason to deny bail, that Ian doesn’t have ties to the state or community, shows she is ignorant.
So she can be down that in the appeal to the denial.
It’s my opinion they the lawyer for Ian could have done better.
Like, it was a mistake to bring up that Mark was in Mexico. There was absolutely zero reason to interject that into the court room, and lots of reasons not to, even though it was perfectly innocent.
I’m just saying a better pleading to the court could yield good results.
“So, the chance of being acquitted is .0034”
That number alone would lead any reasonable person to conclude that the so-called justice system is a farce. Like Ian and other Freekeeners have been saying for years, there cannot be justice when the prosecutors and judge play for the same team
#BitcoinIsNotACrime #FreeFreeman #FreeNobody
Ian hasn’t been given bail because he is a flight risk. He has never registered NH as his residence. Ian has balked at getting a NH drivers license or even registering his vehicle.
He more than likely has more money hidden somewhere. My guess is he will head to Belize where there the USA cannot touch him. He’s been there before.
The judge and prosecutor are right not to let Ian out of jail. He can sit until his trial begins.
I wonder how many freekeeners will be kicked out of that trial. I know I’m going to be there.
His family must be so proud. https://www.wcax.com/2021/03/30/nh-man-accused-in-unlicensed-virtual-currency-biz-stays-jailed/
Devil’s advocate: feds have their ducks in a row better. (?)
I don’t think that’s the case.
Black Panthers got killed by the feds.
This case may require off the chain activism, if people have the fortitude or will or burning desire or organization
Jack you fucking troll.
I know your family isn’t proud of YOU.
All you do is spew hate for years on end.
Acting like you are better than others.
You are worse than others.
You *should* be ashamed.
Ian Freeman, 40, of Keene, has pleaded not guilty to charges of participating in a conspiracy to operate the business; wire fraud; money laundering; operating a continuing financial crimes enterprise; and operating an unlicensed money transmitting business. All those charges! Johnstone said Freeman “has substantial financial resources.” He told court officers he gets $23,000 a month in income, and has $60,000 in a checking account. WOW Clearly embezzled. Hilarious watching all the duped Free Keene racists learn of their victimhood. FBI agents seized $178,000 from a bedroom safe. Among other assets, they identified about 28 Bitcoin — equivalent to about… Read more »
The amount of money we’re talking ain’t that much. You’d understand that if you had ever run a business. The fact the value was held in either crypto or cash makes sense because that is effectively the inventory. A half million dollars to a couple million in inventory for a handful of vending machines hardly amounts to a massive criminal enterprise and would at most constitute a very small business if it were a commercial rather than charitable church endeavor. In fact the church didn’t have that many vending machines in comparison to others operating vending machines for profit. A… Read more »
just because “johnstone” says things don’t make it so.
That why there is a court.
Frank Rizzo
You Have heard her court right frank?
That’s where there’s 2 sides and a judge
(Frank Rizzo don’t need no court, he has the news papers)
Fortunately there are smarter people making the rules.
the quote “Money laundering” .. charge.. seems like it was one borderline entrapment deal after five fucking years of surveillance… they spent 5 fucking years then had to entrap him…
they were probably like “we been doing this for FIVE YEARS..we got to get SOMETHING!”… thus they entrapped him
David Crawford – My family is very proud of me. You see, I have never been arrested or served time in jail. I have never ripped my friends off in money schemes. I seriously doubt Ian’s parents are proud of him. I bet they are so tired of his BS they have to put paper bags on their head to just go outside. That goes the same for your parents. You are a whiny little freekeener who bashes all government entities and even people who disagree with you. I’ve seen what you have written on this forum. So pull yourself… Read more »
kk – Are you delusional? I just have to ask, Who are ‘We” you are talking about? You list off a bunch of garbage. There was obviously enough criminal activity from Ian and the rest of the cryptocriminals, for the FBI to arrest all of them.You need to look at the news media. They have this stuff spelled out for you. You know what, they haven’t changed their stories. freekeeners have. Your “reps” are going to save you? Now that is too funny. They won’t be able to do anything. Ian broke federal laws. He and the rest of you… Read more »
I don’t know why anybody would read your post Jack! I’m certainly not going to. Maybe if they were one sentence theyd be unavoidable, but theyre very avoidable I don’t know why you think you have so much to say.
