Title: [2016-08-03] Why Florida's Bitcoin Ruling Could Lead to Legislative Action Post by: elyas772 on August 04, 2016, 03:09:02 AM Andrew "Drew" Hinkes is counsel at Berger Singerman LLP, a business law firm in Florida. Hinkes represents companies and entrepreneurs in state and federal commercial litigation matters, representation of court-appointed fiduciaries and electronic discovery issues.
In this opinion piece, Hinkes looks at the potential impact of the recent court decision in Florida that centered in part on the definitions of both bitcoin and money transmission. Michell Espinoza had a good Monday. On that day last week, the South Florida bitcoin exchanger saw money transmission and money laundering charges against him dismissed. Espinoza was arrested in 2014 for selling bitcoins to an undercover law enforcement agent, and he has again been thrust into the spotlight due to the potential impact of the case. http://www.coindesk.com/floridas-bitcoin-ruling-lead-legislative-action/ |
