Former Secret Service agent Shaun Bridges will be adding two more years in his jail sentence—which he is currently serving—for coursing BTC to his personal account while investigating online black market Silk Road.

U.S. District Court Judge Richard Seeborg handed the extra prison sentence after Bridges pleaded guilty to money laundering in another criminal case connected to the dark net.

In 2015, the 35-year-old former Secret Service agent earlier admitted that he stole 20,000 BTC while investigating the online black market in 2013. He has since pleaded guilty to money laundering and obstruction charges. However, in August, he admitted that he used a private key to access a digital wallet belonging to the U.S. government, then transferred the BTC to other digital wallets at other bitcoin exchanges, which only he had access.

Gutsy but he was foolish not realizing he'll be caught. U.S. agents were able to track down 600 of the missing BTC, and Bridges agreed to turn over the rest as part of his plea deal.

This latest development only shows that when you screw up, karma catches up, and it pays back big time.
