Abelito: On Having Interpol Red Alerts On Him (For False Crimes), Turning to Bitcoin Out Of Desperation, & Life Starting Anew

In 2017, Interpol (the International Criminal Police Organization) had a red alert on Abelito because -- according to the Panamanian government -- he had committed eight crimes. But after seven years, thousands of dollars spent on lawyers, and asylum in the United States, Abelito was proven innocent.

During our conversation, we talked about:

• The eight crimes the Panamanian government claimed Abelito had committed (which he didn't)
• How he found out Interpol had a red alert on him
• Seeking asylum in the U.S.
• Going through the courts to prove his innocence (which he did)
• The corruption of institutions & the shifting of institutions/nations as we know them thanks to Bitcoin
• Bitcoin as the best asset & tool to save his capital
• How this process changed him
