Two Face Trial over Bitcoin Exchange Linked to JPMorgan Hack Probe

by Rebecca Campbell Reddit Weibo A Florida software engineer and a New Jersey pastor are expected to face trial connected to the Coin.mx bitcoin exchange investigation and a security breach at JPMorgan Chase & Co, reports  Reuters . According to the report, jury selection is set to start in Manhattan federal court for Yuri Lebedev, the suspected planner behind Coin.mx’s platform, and Trevon Gross, a pastor and ex-chairman of a now-defunct credit union.
