The one Bitcoin prosecution: the jurisdiction has none seated here

ROW #554 · LEG 82 ITEM 11 · TESTED NEGATIVE

The register's pattern — a jurisdiction's single Bitcoin prosecution, carried whole — does not occur for Osceola, in either direction. There is no federal Bitcoin or cryptocurrency prosecution seated in Osceola, and Osceola is not a jurisdiction that could hold one: prosecutions in this district are the United States Attorney's for the Northern District of Indiana, seated at South Bend, Hammond and Fort Wayne, and the district's crypto docket in the record reached — like its April 23, 2026 Fort Wayne illegal-gambling indictment, a gambling case and not a crypto one — contains no Osceola defendant, victim, or venue in any item returned. State prosecution would run through the St. Joseph County prosecutor; no county crypto prosecution tied to this town was returned either. The searches behind articles 9 and 11 were the same whole run — court, regulator and press patterns against Osceola, Penn Township and 46561 — and a prosecution is the most public, most indexed event in the entire crypto checklist: if one existed at this seat, it is the item least likely to hide. It does not appear.

Closure: TESTED NEGATIVE. The leg therefore closes without a prosecution article because there is no prosecution to carry — and the absence, searched whole across the district's record, is itself the carried fact.
