The U.S. Department of Justice Opposes Ethereum Developer Virgil Griffith's Request for a 5-Year Sentence Reduction

Odaily Planet Daily News: U.S. Department of Justice officials have drafted a motion opposing Ethereum developer Virgil Griffith's request for a reduced sentence for violating North Korea sanctions. U.S. Attorney Damian Williams stated in a document submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on June 17 that the judge should reject Virgil Griffith's motion to reduce his sentence to 51 months.
