41-year-old Martin Ready faces trial for allegedly plotting to kill lawyer Darren Harty with Bitcoin, claiming mental health issues as defense.
41-year-old Martin Ready faces trial for allegedly plotting to murder lawyer Darren Harty by setting up cryptocurrency accounts and paying £5,071.24 in Bitcoin. Ready, who denies the charges, claims to have suffered from delusions that he was Jesus Christ during the alleged conspiracy. He chose to target Harty due to his connections with a pub owned by Harty's family, which Ready believes was a front for money laundering. Ready has lodged a special defence of lacking criminal responsibility due to his mental state.
