Tl;dr (“Too Long, Didn’t Read”) Version
Why Does This Matter? Why Should I Care?
Doublespeak is extremely powerful for weaponized government agencies. They are able to lie, suppress, and intimidate, with the full power of media fueling their narrative.
FBI Special Agent David Cirilli, under oath in Grand Jury testimony, affirmed that My Big Coin was a cryptocurrency, the government tried to get him to answer differently, and he didn’t. Cirilli also affirmed that My Big Coin Founder & CEO John Roche controlled the My Big Coin social media accounts and email address.
New whistleblower evidence shows that Roche directed and controlled the development of the My Big Coin website, the My Big Coin Exchange website, and the My Big Coin Pay website.
Judge Denise J. Casper, US District Court in Massachusetts, infringed on Randall Crater’s constitutional right to present a defense, violating his 6th amendment rights.

Doublespeak is powerful.
Edward S. Herman, in his book Beyond Hypocrisy, describes the principal characteristics of doublespeak:
“What is really important in the world of doublespeak is the ability to lie, whether knowingly or unconsciously, and to get away with it; and the ability to use lies and choose and shape facts selectively, blocking out those that don’t fit an agenda or program.“
Throughout our expose series on the U.S. vs Crater case, we’ve shown the lengths that government agencies - the #FBI, #DOJ, #SEC, and the #CTFC - will go to in an effort to win at any cost: witness intimidation, suppression of information, lies by omission, and simply making things up… it’s all fair game.
In this special supplemental edition, we’ll get to know FBI Special Agent David Cirilli and Judge Denise J. Casper better, and why what they’ve said and done proves how deep the rabbit hole goes.
MEET THE PLAYERS, PART TWO
We last encountered Mr. Cirilli in Part Two of our expose, where he was part of the dynamic duo with Postal Inspector Jan Kostka, who were responsible for the information provided in John Roche’s 2020 “flip-flop” interview where he stated the following:
Mr. Roche seems to have forgotten his 2015 statements to FINRA, where he said:
New information obtained by SHERLOC shows testimony given by Mr. Cirilli to a Grand Jury, where he:
-conveniently does not answer questions;
-is given cover by the counsel questioning him;
-and provides additional evidence that John Roche was in control of My Big Coin.
AN INTERVIEW WITH THE GRAND JURY
On February 26, 2019, David Cirilli appeared in front of a Federal Grand Jury in Boston Massachusetts to answer questions in the Crater case. The full document is linked above, and linked here as well.
Crypto… or no?
As we shared in Part Two of the expose, the government and the courts have struggled with whether or not My Big Coin was a cryptocurrency.
This is very important.
From Part Two:
From the DOJ website:
“… a purported cryptocurrency and virtual payment services company headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, and offered virtual payment services through a fraudulent digital currency, “My Big Coins,” which he marketed to investors between 2014 and 2017 using misrepresentations about the nature and value of Coins…”
Hard Stop. Words Matter.
The DOJ and the CFTC make the statement that My Big Coins were a “fraudulent digital currency”, yet Senior Judge Rya W. Zobel of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts ruled that My Big Coin was a commodity in 2018. During the trial, the prosecution then attempted to say that it wasn’t a cryptocurrency… and then it was.
It’s important to note the actual definition of the word commodity. From Webster’s Dictionary:
Please note definitions 2, 3, and 4 for the sake of this case.
The question: Which one is it - Fraudulent, or a commodity?
During Cirilli’s testimony to the Grand Jury (page 8, lines 10-23 and page 9, lines 1-19), he states that “Effectively, these individuals were selling cryptocurrency that was backed by gold. This was referred to as My Big Coin. These were coins offered by the company to investors.”
Hard Stop.
David Cirilli, under oath, has declared that My Big Coin is a cryptocurrency. It’s impossible for something to be fraudulent and real at the same time… until Cirilli made this statement.
It gets worse.
In the exchange following Cirilli’s statement, Trial Attorney Caitlin Cottingham, sensing trouble with the statement of fact made by Cirilli, effectively tries to guide the line of questioning about the status of the cryptocurrency, stating that it was allegedly being sold:
Unfortunately for Cottingham, Cirilli didn’t get the message.
Cirilli never makes the statement that My Big Coin was not a real cryptocurrency.
Instead, he continues through his testimony, providing his definition of what a cryptocurrency and what a virtual currency are.
In contrast to the statement affirmed by Cirilli that “misrepresentations were made to investors and potential investors in My Big Coin,” SHERLOC has shown evidence that:
Crater was misled that the gold in this case, presented by John Roche and Bill Donohue, was real, and spent over $100k in legal fees around the issue;
That there was indeed a market for My Big Coin, and that people were not only actively transacting, but that there were ATM machines that allowed for transactions.
We’ve also found evidence - online today - that My Big Coin WAS listed as a cryptocurrency:
Sadly, the evidence that we’ve shared here was submitted by Crater’s defense team, and was suppressed.
If you’re asking the question “why?”
That’s the right question.
Who’s in Charge of that social media? What about those websites?
Another recurring theme in the prosecutions case against Crater was that he controlled the social media accounts for My Big Coin. While we’ve shown that Roche himself stated to FINRA that he controlled everything, Cirilli believes this to be the case:
So, we have Cirilli making the statement that the My Big Coin twitter handle and My Big Coin email address “appeared to be” primarily used by Roche.
In additional documents leaked to SHERLOC by a whistle blower, we have an email string that shows John Roche working with a web developer on the My Big Coin site, the My Big Coin Exchange Site, and the My Big Coin Pay Site and links to the working product:
THE CURIOUS COURT OF THE HONORABLE DENISE J. CASPER
The U.S. Government chose Massachusetts as the venue for the Crater case, as it has historically worked in their favor.
The case landed in the courtroom of Judge Denise J. Casper.
As you’ll see, after SHERLOC dug into the transcripts of the case, we found bizarre things during Day 3 of the trial.
The Touhy (too-ee) Issue
Simply put, the touhy issue “…[holds] that a federal employee may not be compelled to testify contrary to his federal employer’s instructions under valid agency regulations.”
Yes, you read that correctly.
Regardless of whether or not a federal employee’s testimony could determine the outcome of the future of a person, they can’t be compelled to testify if the government agency says no.
This will make sense in a moment.
During Day 3 of the trial, Crater defense attorney Scott Lopez presents an issue to the court, related to a key witness: CFTC attorney Jason Mahoney.
Christopher J. Markham is the attorney for the government in this case:
Hard Stop.
It appears that Mr. Markham’s response is lackluster, while Mr. Lopez is doing what you would expect an attorney to do - get a key witness to court to provide sworn testimony.
Please note again at this point that government agencies put rules in place that can keep employees of those agencies from testifying.
Let that sink in for a moment.
Lopez, after being delayed by Judge Casper to discuss whether or not the Touhy Issue applies in criminal cases and violating Crater’s 6th amendment rights, along with Markham making statements around the relevance of the witness testimony, lays out why CFTC attorney Jason Mahoney answering questions is key to the defense:
Hard Stop.
For clarity: Jason Mahoney, the attorney for the CFTC:
a. Is involved in key parts of this case, and would be a key witness for the defense;
b. Appears to be able to ignore a subpoena;
c. After John Roche refuses to comply with his subpoena (because, according to Roche, his girlfriend destroyed his records), Mahoney then drafts and has Roche sign a document that was an attorney/client privilege waiver - not Crater - Roche - as controller and owner of my big coin.
This poses two interesting questions:
If Roche wasn’t involved in My Big Coin and had not talked with Crater in a long time, why did he have to sign a waiver?
How is the prosecution able to put this into evidence when they knew better?
After this exchange, Lopez is cut off again, and Markham makes the statement that “I would like to put on the record at some point why all of that is irrelevant and inadmissible.”
Interesting response, as the evidence appears to be VERY relevant. Lopez points this out:
THE SUM OF THE PARTS
What appears to be information that is critical to the case - and Crater’s freedom - was sidelined “until later.”
Which, became never.
As we’ve pointed out throughout this expose thus far, the mismanagement of this entire process is a harbinger - and the stakes are incredibly high.
Government agencies are working to effectively legislate their way into power.
This should scare you to death.
We have to be vigilant. If the CFTC gets away with this, not only is the crypto industry severely damaged and the CFTC then gets to pick winners and losers, but you may find yourself running an illegal money service business for the simple act of writing a check to someone else.
If the CFTC, DOJ, FBI, and the Court System are allowed to continue to suppress the truth, intimidate witnesses, financially drain defendants, securing funding based on lies, and use the media as a lapdog to push their agenda…
JUSTICE IN THE UNITED STATES IS DEAD.
