🚨NEW: SDNY Acting U.S. Attorney (and former @SECGov Chair) Jay Clayton issued a statement following Roman Storm’s conviction, praising the prosecution team after securing a guilty verdict for operating an unlicensed money transmitting business. “The speed, efficiency, and functionality of stablecoins and other digital assets offer great promise, but that promise cannot be an excuse for criminality,” Clayton said, adding that criminals committing age-old crimes like money laundering undermine the many innovators who operate lawfully.
