A California man accused of posing as a 'Bitcoin billionaire' to scam nearly £170,732 ($212,000) from luxury resorts and small businesses in Wyoming has made a bold plea for leniency.
Kevin Michael Segal, 30, requested that Teton County Judge Melissa Owens reduce his bail. According to the California State Daily, he claimed he needed to be released from jail to protect his family and belongings from the Los Angeles wildfires.
