A former professional skateboarder from Long Beach was sentenced on Wednesday, Jan. 19, to eight years in federal prison for selling drugs and laundering Bitcoin with other drug traffickers on the dark web.
Evan Jaime Hernandez, 35, was sentenced at federal court in Santa Ana after pleading guilty to one count each of distribution of methamphetamine and laundering of monetary instruments in June, the Department of Justice said in a statement. Hernandez admitted to distributing the narcotics from at least March 2018 to March 2019, in addition to conspiring with dealers based in Orange County to distribute drugs over one of the world’s largest darknet marketplaces, according to court records.
In March 2018, he sold nearly two pounds of methamphetamine to a person he believed was a money launderer but was actually working with federal law enforcement at the time, records show. Over one year, Hernandez worked with the same person four times, totaling around $171,000 in Bitcoin-to-cash exchanges.
