According to a Department of Justice press release, a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C. has indicted two companies operating a digital currency business and their owners on “charges of money laundering, conspiracy, and operating an unlicensed money transmitting business.”
The indictment of the two companies is not a condemnation of all digital-gold companies, but it is evidence that the federal government is aware of digital-gold transactions, despite them being miniscule in world business.
