“Unhosted wallets are software hosted on a person’s computer, phone, or other
device that allow the person to store and conduct transactions in CVC. Unhosted wallets do not require an additional third party to conduct transactions. In the case of unhosted, single-signature wallets, (a) the value (by definition) is the property of the owner and is stored in a wallet, while (b) the owner interacts with the payment system directly and has total independent control over the value. In so far as the person conducting a transaction through the unhosted wallet is doing so to purchase goods or services on the user’s own behalf, they are not a money transmitter.”

They couldn’t register with FINCEN per FINCENs own guidelines. FINCEN said they do not fit the criteria to be a MSB.

I don’t know how much clearer I can make this for you…

Of course it matters what the regulator says. How were they supposed to play by this imaginary law if that very regulator literally says ‘you are not an MSB’.

Also about pleading guilty. Easy for you to say when you’re sat behind a keyboard and not staring down the barrel of your good years behind bars.

Read through the court docs. It was plain to see the judge wanted to make an example of them here.

Good Q. FTF was early this week (check my feed), but I’ll try and remember to cover with Max when we record TBB on Monday

In case you missed today's early #FREEDOMTECHFRIDAY stream. Here it is in full.

Please share it far and wide. More people need to hear about the insanity and injustice of the case.
