Money laundering, facilitating drug dealing, undisclosed income and failure to pay Tax, conspiracy to commit all three previous + possibly more crimes.

"When Bitcoins, like any traditional currency, are laundered and used to fuel criminal activity, law enforcement has no choice but to act," Preet Bharara, the U.S. attorney for Manhattan, said in a statement emailed to the press on Monday. "We will aggressively pursue those who would co-opt new forms of currency for illicit purposes."

Just like any traditional currency ?
