David Hoffman It's good on sanctions and money laundering, but a travesty of justice on Section 1960. This is the key issue we've been fighting about all along, that the developer of a non-custodial protocol is not (and cannot be) engaged in money transmission. The appeal will be critical.
🚨NEW: Just caught Roman Storm 🇺🇸 🌪️ outside the courtroom. I asked how he was feeling. In a quiet voice, but with a noticeable smile, he told me: “It’s a big win. The ‘1960’ charge is bullshit and we’re going to fight it all the way. You know how President Trump said ‘fight, fight,

Thank you Solana Policy for the your support! Your donation gives us hope for justice — and for a safer future for all developers #CodeWithoutFear
I’m beyond grateful 🙏 to Keyring Network for donating their protocol fees to cover legal expenses. Ethereum Foundation is also coordinating support and standing with me. We still have a long way to go in this appeal as the Court has decided that an additional investigation has to be
