Has anyone ever seen a “For What it is Worth Advisory” Order before? 😂. From the District Court case which issued an injunction against the $200 SAR threshold for border towns.

Federal district court in Texas halts enforcement on $250 CTR requirements near the southern border. Fringe case in some ways, but notable that courts are finding a limit to how far the BSA permits mass financial surveillance. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69829398/59/texas-association-of-money-services-businesses-v-bondi/

Here's a question for you: AI Law and Policy course. What topics would you cover? What topics seem relevant now, but might not be by the time I teach it in the Fall?

Has anyone here done a deep dive into on-ramping? Seems to be a regulatory and compliance headache if your planning to allow people to on-ramp more than $10k. Would love to speak to people who have some experience in the area.

the warren wing of the democrats would gladly kill self-custody if they could, made pretty clear in this letter: "The legislation fails to address real gaps in BSA coverage with respect to stablecoins' use . . . with respect to self-hosted [i.e. non-custodial] wallets that lack know-your-customer (KYC) requirements . . ." https://x.com/brendanpedersen/status/1924495963764208037
