DOJ Tension After Storm Verdict

[ed]

Roman Storm was convicted of running an unlicensed money-transmitting business, though jurors didn’t find him guilty of money-laundering or sanctions conspiracy. Two weeks later, a DOJ official publicly said “merely writing code… is not a crime,” contradicting the prosecution’s stance. Storm’s next court conference is set for Jan. 22, with no sentencing date yet.
