The US Justice Department under President Donald Trump issued a memo on April 7 suggesting it would halt the prosecution of cases involving crypto enforcement.

Federal prosecutors said they will continue pursuing their case against Braden John Karony, the former CEO of crypto firm SafeMoon, despite the US Justice Department issuing a memo suggesting a policy of abandoning “regulation by prosecution” related to digital assets.
