Pleased to share that my client Roman Storm is already out on bail, although I remain very disappointed that the prosecutors charged him because he helped develop software - their novel legal theory has dangerous implications for all software developers.

We are grateful the jury did not convict Roman for violating sanctions or laundering money. We will not stop fighting for Roman and expect him to be fully vindicated.

Thrilled for my client Avi - from the beginning, we said this case was fatally flawed

Paradigm will be donating $1.25M to help fund Roman Storm’s legal defense

The prosecution’s case threatens to hold software developers criminally liable for the bad acts of third parties, which would have a chilling effect in crypto and beyond

We must stand with @rstormsf

[Brian Klein @brianeklein]

@matthuang @rstormsf Matt, deeply appreciative of Paradigm's very generous contribution to Roman's legal defense fund. We will not rest in defending him - he didn't commit any crimes and should never have been indicted - and you're right, there is so much at stake here.

My watch has ended.

After five years as Kraken’s Chief Legal Officer, I’m passing on the reins to a successor.

I’ll stay close as a senior advisor. I’m going to help train up a successor and help to build a global advisory council for the company. I couldn’t be more proud of what we’ve achieved together as a team and I look forward to the next era of @krakenfx success.

Wait WHAT? Marco, WHY. And what's next? 👇

@latimes What a disaster. No box scores. No standings. As a long time subscriber, I'm beyond annoyed and disappointed. You had the best sports page in the country and threw that away.

Silicon Valley Bank’s shareholders and executives lose it all, as they should. Depositors in good faith, however, should recover and have access to their deposits in order to meet their payrolls, pay their suppliers, and to prevent contagion.

One year later, Kyiv stands. Ukraine stands. Democracy stands. America — and the world — stands with Ukraine.

Рік потому Київ стоїть. Україна стоїть. Демократія стоїть. Америка – і світ – стоїть з Україною.
