Free Joby

Joby Weeks was one of the earliest Bitcoin-era figures. A miner. A global crypto advisor. A libertarian. A guy who was pushing Bitcoin when almost nobody understood what it was. In 2019, Joby was arrested in connection with the BitClub Network case. The government framed it as a $722M crypto mining fraud case, while Joby’s side argues the public story leaves out major context — including that the money was there for payouts before the government seized it. The official DOJ record says Joby pleaded guilty in 2020 to conspiracy to offer/sell unregistered securities and tax evasion. His campaign says he spent 11 months in custody, then years under home incarceration, with sentencing still unresolved.
