Appeal and Pardon Efforts for Roman Sterlingov with Mike Hassard & Tor Ekeland (MT 342)

TODAY’S 🎙SHOW: In this episode Douglas Tuman speaks with legal experts Tor Ekeland and Mike Hassard about various cryptocurrency-related legal cases and the changing political landscape. They primarily discuss Roman Sterlingov’s case, who received a 12.5-year sentence for allegedly running Bitcoin Fog, though they maintain his innocence. The conversation explores how the Trump administration’s approach to cryptocurrency regulation differs from previous administrations, with particular focus on the recent pardon of Ross Ulbricht. They discuss the problems with government surveillance, chain analysis companies, and the importance of financial privacy. The experts share their experiences with prosecutorial overreach and the changing attitudes toward cryptocurrency in Washington. They also discuss the BitLicense in New York, the role of agencies like the SEC and CFTC, and the future of cryptocurrency regulation under different political administrations.
