[Non-Custodial Developer Criminal Liability Protection Removed, Coin Center States Roman Storm Prosecutorial Theory Still Not Excluded] Odaily Planet Daily News: Bitcoin News posted on the X platform stating that Coin Center claims the latest revised BRCA text has removed provisions that explicitly protect developers who do not control user funds from criminal liability under Title 18, Section 1960 of the United States Code. The revised text will still protect developers who do not control user funds from being classified as money transmitters under the Bank Secrecy Act and FinCEN regulations, thereby significantly increasing the difficulty of prosecuting developers solely for failing to obtain a money transmitter license or register with the federal government. However, the text does not prevent prosecutors from asserting that developers knowingly transmitted funds derived from criminal activities—a theory that has become the core basis for criminal cases against Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm and Samourai Wallet developers. Coin Center believes this compromise represents substantial regulatory progress, but developers still face broader criminal liability theories from the U.S. Department of Justice regarding money transmission. If the CLARITY Act passes in accordance with the revised BRCA, related disputes will primarily shift to the courts.
