Acting Assistant Attorney General Matthew Galeotti (a name that sounds like it belongs in a spy novel) dropped this bombshell during a digital assets summit in Wyoming. He declared-brace yourselves-that “merely writing code, without ill intent, is not a crime.” Bold move, Matthew. Truly groundbreaking stuff. It’s almost as if building tools shouldn’t automatically make you guilty of using them for mischief. Almost. 🤔

In a Thursday filing that could only be described as a legal soap opera, Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman has graciously granted Coinbase’s request to put the lawsuit on ice.

But wait, there’s more to this tale than meets the eye. Not too long ago, World Liberty was seen parting ways with a hefty 5,471 ETH for a mere $8.01 million at the modest rate of $1,465 per token. Oh, what a bargain, you might say, but not so fast! For you see, this same generous soul had previously spent a staggering $210 million to amass a whopping 67,498 ETH at an average cost of $3,259. Now, they find themselves sitting on a rather uncomfortable loss of about $125 million. Ah, the joys of speculative investing!
