No mention of BitLicense in ages in his twitter, people was starting to lose hope with it.  He said it as supposed to be ended at the end of May. Let's hope he will deliver.

Bummer I was hoping this guy would quietly ride off into the sunset without screwing things up for everyone.  Fingers crossed over here that what he has to say isn't horrible, but I somehow doubt it will be good.

I had a skim read through this, but could find no date on it.

Is there a date on the other one, and is it today's date?

It says somewhere that anyone it applies to has 45 days to comply or else.
