Mandel made history in 2018 by launching OhioCrypto.com, the first U.S. government platform allowing businesses to pay taxes in Bitcoin — a bold step that made Ohio an early blockchain leader.

The program was later suspended in 2019, but Mandel remained a vocal Bitcoin advocate. His recent trading loss shows that even crypto pioneers can misjudge market timing in the high-volatility world of Bitcoin derivatives.
