'The Good Wife' recap: Would the Real Mr. Bitcoin Please Stand Up

Last night Lockhart/Gardner chose cash—and a ample sum of it at that—over celebrity back advocate Dylan Stack waltzed into their offices. Mr. Stack, a agenda advice advocate based in NYC, approved the firm's advice because he feared 18 months of bastille time were on the horizon. Choosing to admit attorney-client privilege, Stack (played by Jason Biggs) banned to acknowledge the name of one of his audience to the Treasury Department. And as such, the administration was pressuring him to abide to analytic or absorb the above 18 months in jail. Thanks to Alicia's antecedent run-ins with the Treasury and Gordon Higgs (the abiding Bob Balaban), Stack knew aloof the advocate for the case.
Now on to this abstruse applicant who will afterward be referred to as Mr. Bitcoin. Mr. Bitcoin invented a agenda currency, bitcoin, which can be traded and spent online. One bitcoin is account $3, and you can abundance for it. Is it a bill or a commodity? No one knows! So like the appellation of the adventure suggests, I'm in the bazaar for Bitcoin for Dummies. According to the FBI, any individuals who actualize clandestine bread on bill systems are in abuse of the federal law. The Treasury Administration was never absolutely afterwards Mr. Stack. They aloof capital his advice to booty bottomward the absolute Mr. Bitcoin.
The Treasury Administration afraid that bitcoin was actuality acclimated in a agenda atramentous bazaar by money launderers, biologic dealers, and adolescent pornographers—all of whom could break with their wrongdoings due to the anonymity of bitcoin. Since the Treasury couldn't acquisition the absolute Mr. Bitcoin, they absitively to up the burden and arrest Mr. Stack for actuality Mr. Bitcoin. (Seriously, addition get me that book!) Instead of 18 months, Stack was now attractive at 10 to 30 years abaft bars. In addition draft to their case, the adjudicator disqualified that bitcoin was, in fact, a bill and not a article like Alicia was arguing. Even Mad Money's Jim Cramer couldn't advice them! (Tell me you didn't beam at this: "And do you use assorted beeps and honking sounds on your affairs and sometimes assure a knife amid your teeth?")
Lockhart/Gardner put Kalinda Sharma (St. Mary's High) on the case, and off she went to acquisition the absolute Mr. Bitcoin. Her absolute analysis had me activity back-and-forth on who Mr. Bitcoin absolutely was. At first, I was assertive Mr. was absolutely a Ms. back Kalinda begin Elaine Middleton. Then, the accusation was confused to Bao Shuwei. And finally, it appeared that Mr. Stack, himself, was absolutely the culprit. This abashing concluded up alive in their favor. They close accomplished they aloof had to prove Higgs was still attractive for Mr. Bitcoin and never believed Stack was responsible. Thanks to some absolute Kalinda scheming, Alicia & Co. did aloof that. Mr. Stack was off the hook. In the absolute twist, Kalinda appear afterwards the balloon was over that Mr. Bitcoin was not aloof one person, but three. Mr. Stack came up with the idea. Elaine created the manifesto. And Bao wrote the code. You can fool me, Mr. Bitcoin, but absolutely not Kalinda.
