Going forward, only securities that have been tokenized will fall under the SEC&#39;s authority, says SEC Chair Paul Atkins.<br/><br/>The interpretation ends a long dispute over the SEC&#39;s jurisdiction over digital assets which potentially could have led to the classification of digital asset developers as securities brokers with grave implications for user privacy.<br/><br/>The interpretation appears to additionally advance clarity on proposals in market structure drafts, which insufficiently defined what digital assets could be subject to broker/dealer registration

against the International Criminal Court, the Luxembourg Times reports.<br/><br/>The incident is yet another example of the US extrajudicial weaponization of the global financial system against dissent.<br/><br/>Since 2025, the Trump administration has placed sanctions on eleven ICC judges and prosecutors who led the effort of obtaining an arrest warrant for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.<br/><br/>While no sanctions have been placed on the ICC directly, the Luxembourg Spuerkeess decided to close two accounts held by the ICC to avoid potential regulatory repercussions.<br/><br/>The sanctions are not enacted via Congressional approval but by executive order of the US president, prohibiting any US service to do business with sanctioned ICC personnel, directly limiting the ICC&#39;s operations through the cancelation of necessary services, such as email and accounting software.<br/><br/>While the US officially holds no authority over international banks, its position as an economic superpower can effectively lead to the exclusion from global financial markets if its orders are not followed suit.<br/><br/>The US was originally a signatory to the Rome Statute which established the ICC in 1998 under Bill Clinton, though the signature was never ratified. <br/><br/>In 2002, the US formally &#34;unsigned&#34; the treaty under President Bush and established the American Service-Members&#39; Protection Act, more commonly known as The Hague Invasion Act, which prevents US agencies from granting assistance to the ICC, and gives the US president all necessary mans to prevent the prosecution of US citizens by the ICC – including military action.<br/> <img

accounts open – including the accounts of Epstein, after finding he had been making payments to young women. <br/><br/>The document gives a rare glimpse into the world of so-called relationship managing, in which wealthy individuals are treated favorably by financial institutions even when flags are raised.<br/><br/>While regular banking customers fall victim to overly-cautious account closures, the FBI report details how individuals with more substantive financial resources are continuously cut slack in anti-money laundering procedures in order to retain their

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with tax records if the agency first identifies a person&#39;s address correctly.<br/><br/>Instead, the DHS appears to have used the information sharing agreement

surveillance is needed to root out the potential use of cryptocurrency for tax evasion, money laundering, and terrorist financing.<br/><br/>What the reports omit is that SARs in no way indicate crime. In fact, the vast, vast majority of reports filed with regulators are of innocent people and innocuous transactions.<br/><br/>US financial institutions file upward of 30 million reports on customers every year, and for those efforts, government agencies have fewer than 400 criminal investigations to show for.<br/><br/>That is trillions of dollars of transactions surveilled, and millions of reports filed, resulting in only a few hundred criminal investigations. <br/><br/>The problem, apparently, is not that the overbearing system fails, but that not everyone is inside it… yet.<br/><br/>🔗 Full story:<br/><br/><a href="https://www.therage.co/tax-crypto-risk/">https://www.therage.co/tax-crypto-risk/</a> 2026-02-25T11:13:59Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrj0dyxnfcy0u7jtam8jgv8akach03ss8saqve88dp62a6l7hwr4czypt58pelketcqek0z9q2n5c7x68mt2uyh79tfyrl97js6r4d2hruquemsm7 🔴A former Revolut employee has reportedly attempted to extort customers by threatening to leak their personal KYC data unless a ransom was paid.<br/><br/>The extortion attempt appears to have been targeted at a pseudonymous X account with over 650,000 followers.<br/><br/>Revolut has reportedly stated that no systems have been breached, and that the case is under investigation.<br/><br/>The case highlights yet another risk of identity verification beyond security breaches and leaks, in which internal rogue actors obtain access to individual&#39;s sensitive information.<br/><br/>As KYC laws are set to be expanded beyond the financial realm to ID social media users, the extortion of high-value pseudonymous individuals will likely grow into a lucrative business for criminals.<br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/f7b4047653c03ea0625a5326aace490289e1bcbb38aafbf6b58e7806a4f822bf.jpg"> 2026-02-25T11:11:35Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2qzunr2dhk8hjhy98y6sedwc630aa0rhjxa3yz8z5ac7vrpvp3qczypt58pelketcqek0z9q2n5c7x68mt2uyh79tfyrl97js6r4d2hruqamzqhq 🔴The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has approved the production of new reports focused on the mitigation of AML/CFT risks for &#34;unhosted wallets&#34; and peer-to-peer transactions.

A pre-sentencing recommendation from probation authorities recommended 42 months.<br/><br/>The subsection applied to Roriguez is the same subsection that prosecutors used to convict Tornado Cash cocreator Roman Storm this August.<br/><br/>At the time, many scholars argued that the subsection was misapplied due to a lack of licensing requirements for non-custodial services.<br/><br/>Earlier this year, Assistant Attorney General Matthew Galeotti stated that the DOJ would no longer bring prosecutions against non-custodial developers under the subsection applied to Rodriguez, Hill and Storm.<br/><br/>The defense highlighted ambiguities in the law itself, citing confusion around whether licensing and regulatory requirements, such as the Bank Secrecy Act, applied to non-custodial services.<br/><br/>It also highlighted the need for services like Samourai Wallet to conceal otherwise public funds to protect Bitcoin users from extortion and kidnappings.<br/><br/>In addition to the 5 year sentence and $250,000 fine, Rodriguez will be on supervised release for 3 years.<br/><br/>20% of his gross income will be garnished after release to pay the fine, as will $25 a month or up to 50% of any income earned in Federal prison work programs. 2025-11-06T18:33:59Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0c02cq3e8c98l4enplxvzraqp9lt9lqlml4f34dlwtxjnddzvx2gzypt58pelketcqek0z9q2n5c7x68mt2uyh79tfyrl97js6r4d2hruqrpsr4c 🚨 KEONNE RODRIGUEZ SENTENCED TO FIVE YEARS, $250,000 FINE<br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/a46e39b88302acf2e74925e9fa39b7fd7c68a31a6f2f7d1b90d1f861938e48b5.jpg"> <br/> 2025-11-06T17:05:56Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgksgjw2pqdmmkcdwpuh4xpvnte75hyp3u4ha5pe2ww6y6gfqfglgzypt58pelketcqek0z9q2n5c7x68mt2uyh79tfyrl97js6r4d2hruq7c20ae Today and tomorrow we are live at the sentencing of Keonne Rodriguez and William Hill of Samourai Wallet ⬇️ <br/><br/><video controls width="100%" class="max-h-[90vh] bg-neutral-300 dark:bg-zinc-700"><source src="https://blossom.primal.net/87836c0df8313246e9d110c74bf2c63d42e14c5735661656f647dc5d607f63a5.mp4"></video> 2025-11-06T16:10:51Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9x9f7ktz7j6sar3s4xy4gaps9awwsrsu4qlnzp4nqvhh9uqd08mgzypt58pelketcqek0z9q2n5c7x68mt2uyh79tfyrl97js6r4d2hruqs2l6xg In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8mcedy5lvk3mzaf702tnhu8qyfyvh272xspvza8k76f2smhgglqqppamhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d50fz0yt'>nevent1q…z0yt</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Mh ya you may wanna check ur sources on that one bud 2025-11-04T11:35:51Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsx4rr5pmdqp5ykmhpx2d8c5clq9y5pj2x0g45a3rdffhfm3cw05lqzypt58pelketcqek0z9q2n5c7x68mt2uyh79tfyrl97js6r4d2hruqmy7s2r In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdr5j0fnaltzpdr0ceu4rgg4snvdc6zlslxyj4jz26msxxkc6nc8qpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgykx9gk'>nevent1q…x9gk</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Their arguments affect their sentencing but thanks for this stellar legal advice 2025-11-03T17:02:49Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsr9vvm2lqr4a9re27f35w7lmmpjp6wa84upsyv65pft0wacgqkkcqzypt58pelketcqek0z9q2n5c7x68mt2uyh79tfyrl97js6r4d2hruqakjfrv 🚨NEW: US GOVERNMENT SEEKS MAXIMUM SENTENCE FOR SAMOURAI WALLET DEVELOPERS<br/><br/>&#34;I co-founded a software company to develop tools that could provide the anonymity necessary to make Bitcoin work as intended,&#34; Hill tells the court.<br/><br/>Full story👇<br/><a href="https://www.therage.co/samourai-wallet-maximum-sentence/">https://www.therage.co/samourai-wallet-maximum-sentence/</a> 2025-11-03T16:01:22Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswm6ywy7gkpfxh2zk830j88ef4056qrrqkgy07qj2smnaj3pvz7jgzypt58pelketcqek0z9q2n5c7x68mt2uyh79tfyrl97js6r4d2hruqc26snx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstvvdwlwu24h2knyjel4uuxmw0rgndtsnjc448sfv50armt4sd72cpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnwv46qzm89kj'>nevent1q…89kj</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Just curious, have you read the BIP?
