Encryption executive case verdict imminent: imprisonment for 10-16 months, release period 1-3 years

Recently, the court made a preliminary judgment on a case related to Crypto Assets. The presiding judge generally agreed with the recommendations of the probation office, which proposed a sentence of 10 to 16 months of imprisonment, followed by a supervised release period of 1 to 3 years. Currently, the Department of Justice, the defense, and the defendant will each present their opinions, after which the judge will make a final ruling.

This case has attracted significant attention, as the Department of Justice previously proposed a harsh recommendation of 3 years imprisonment and a fine of $50 million for the defendant. However, the probation office recommended 5 months of probation in its report. Meanwhile, the defense argued for house arrest and probation measures instead of sending the defendant to prison.

This case involves a former executive of a well-known Crypto Assets trading platform, sparking widespread discussion in the industry. The final judgment will have far-reaching implications for the entire Crypto Assets sector, and all parties are closely monitoring the progress of the case.
