Bitcoin Riches
to Prison Struggles

My name is Larry Harmon. I created Helix, a darknet Bitcoin mixer, captivated by the groundbreaking potential of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. What started as a fascination with innovation led me to create tools like Helix and Grams, pushing the boundaries of Bitcoin technology—but it all spiraled into a nightmare that cost me everything.

This is my prison journaling blog, where I share my journey through life in prison, my efforts to better myself, and reflections on the books I’m reading. Join me as I document this chapter of my life and work toward rebuilding a better future.

Shakedown City

Another exciting week here at Cumberland Prison Camp. First, some context — I’ve mentioned before that our mattresses are terrible. We sleep on a steel slab with about two inches of foam they call a “mattress.” It’s rough. So, being resourceful inmates, we find ways...

Drama Detox

It’s officially November—and that means I go home next month. It feels great to finally say that. The past few weeks dragged by after all the back-and-forth with my date getting changed. Now that it’s settled again, I’m getting my head right and focused on finishing...

Pulling Through

This week brought a mix of frustration and relief. I finally got the official word about my new release date — December 17th — eight days later than planned. It might not sound like much, but eight extra days in prison feels like forever. I was angry and pretty down...
