DOJ Clarifies Stance on Cryptocurrency Code, Ongoing Case Remains Separate

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has issued a statement clarifying its position on cryptocurrency code. According to the DOJ, simply writing code related to cryptocurrencies is not considered a criminal act.

However, this clarification does not affect an ongoing case involving Roman Storm, whose charges remain pending.

The DOJ's stance aims to provide clarity and guidance for individuals working in the cryptocurrency sector, but it does not necessarily impact existing cases or investigations.
