The Cyberlaw Podcast: Blockchain Takes over the Podcast

In our 279th episode of The Cyberlaw Podcast, the Blockchain Group takes over the podcast. Host Alan Cohn is joined by Gary Goldsholle, Will Turner, and Evan Abrams to discuss:

• The SEC has issued its second token-related no-action letter to Pocketful of Quarters, Inc., giving more guidance and opening a number of issues.
• The SEC has brought a double-headed complaint against ICOBOX, an entity that both conducted an initial coin offering (ICO) and facilitated ICOs for others.
• The U.S. has brought the Financial Action Task Force along on its travel rule adventure.
• The SEC and FINRA have custody guidance.
• FinCEN has guidance on convertible virtual currencies.
• The SEC has brought a complaint against FantasyCoin for what amounts to sheer, brazen fraud.
• The SEC settlement in SimplyVital Health, with Steptoe as counsel, shows the SEC’s willingness to work with companies that voluntarily remediate errors.
