Legislative and Policy Changes on the Horizon
The DOJ is also looking to improve legal protections for victims of crypto-related crimes. Specifically, it aims to ensure that victims can recover assets at their increased value, not just their worth at the time of the crime—an issue that’s arisen in bankruptcy proceedings.
Additionally, the DOJ will make regulatory and legislative recommendations as part of the working group established by the executive order on digital assets.
The DOJ did not comment further on the memo or on how these policy changes will affect current legal actions, such as the ongoing case against Roman Storm, the alleged operator of the crypto mixer Tornado Cash.
