US Attorney General Releases Cryptocurrency Enforcement Framework

• The framework provides a comprehensive overview of the emerging threats and enforcement challenges associated with the increasing prevalence and use of cryptocurrency, Barr said.
• An 83 page document accompanying the release included three sections – threat overview, law, and future strategies – to guide DOJ's handling of the space.
• The document's release comes two years after former Attorney General Jeff Sessions convened a "Cyber-Digital Task force" to study the ramifications of technological advances.
• “Despite its relatively brief existence, this technology already plays a role in many of the most significant criminal and national security threats our nation faces," said Sujit Raman, chair, Attorney General’s Cyber-Digital Task Force, which wrote the report.
