Samourai Devs Plead Guilty in DOJ Deal: Section 1960 Poses Risk to Non-Custodial Crypto Software Developers
According to @jchervinsky, the Samourai Wallet developers have reached a plea deal with the DOJ, providing some relief for the team. However, @jchervinsky highlights concerns over the DOJ's stance that non-custodial software developers are engaged in money transmission, which could have significant implications for other crypto projects and developers. Section 1960 is identified as a major risk to developer freedom, potentially impacting the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem and trading landscape by increasing legal uncertainties for non-custodial wallet providers and related DeFi protocols (source: @jchervinsky). |
