I am writing a longer piece later on some of the issues around this whole case, but I want to highlight this from @valkenburgh and Coin Center (who have been banging this drum relentlessly); the money transmission bit is exceptionally broken...

So it sounds like no verdict on money laundering (gov't could possibly re-prosecute). Guilty on conspiracy to transmit money, and not guilty on conspiracy to evade sanctions. Happy about 1 and 3. The money transmission charge was inappropriate from the start and the way the legal rulings went down last winter may have doomed the outcome with a jury that can only find facts. This needs to be appealed, and Coin Center will do everything to make sure the judge gets the law right the next time around.
