Summary The DOJ will no longer target software developers for the misuse of their applications by bad actors, provided the developers have no criminal intent.

Wu was referencing a WLFI community proposal from October 2024, outlining an arrangement in…

A $13.2 million class action settlement for BlockFi investors moved closer to approval after the sole remaining objector abandoned his challenge. That could remove the final hurdle for compensation to thousands who lost access to funds when the crypto lender imploded in 2022. Attorneys for lead plaintiffs filed a letter on Wednesday with U.S. District Judge Claire Cecchi, confirming that Yacov Baron had withdrawn both his motion to intervene and his objections to the proposed deal. “Rapid resolution of the Preliminary Approval Motion will allow Plaintiffs to commence issuing notice to class members and will reduce the potential for complications…

India’s ban on real money gaming in August 2025 is one of the clearest examples yet of how decisively the government is willing to act. The Online Gaming Bill, passed on August 20-21, shuts down any platform that involves deposits or stakes, which the law now calls “online money gaming.” An Online Gaming Authority is being set up to enforce it, and the penalties are sharp: up to three years in jail and fines of up to ₹1 crore.
