    Virgil Griffith is at least somewhat well-known: among other things, he has a Wikipedia page, and had a profile in the New York Times in 2008.

    I think they are trying to make an example out of him. He sent a 1 eth tx to sk from nk and gave a public speech. This article is a decent overview of what happened.
