The defense attorney for Mr. Pickles claims that these were all legitimate transactions which were in fact encouraged by the US Mint and thus Fraud had not occurred. However, the Attorney Generals office has countered that what Mr. Peter Pickles was doing was not in the spirit of what the mint was suggesting, and as thus he is being held pending felony charges. It is expected that Federal Lawmakers are going to repeal the ban on public stonings in order to provide adequate punishment to fit the crime.
