According to Law360. com, citing a document submitted by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) last Friday, the DOJ had pushed for a reduction in enforcement efforts against cryptocurrencies during the Trump era, but this did not prevent federal prosecutors from pursuing former SafeMoon CEO Braden Karony. Karony is facing fraud allegations related to the collapse of the token. He will be tried in May, which will be a key touchstone for testing whether the new policy of the Department of Justice will protect executives from past allegations of misconduct. On April 18th, the federal prosecutor for the Eastern District of New York confirmed that the lawsuit will continue to be pursued. Karony has been charged with conspiracy to commit securities fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering, and has refused to plead guilty. He has been released on bail of $3 million since February. On April 10th, it was reported that the CEO of SafeMoon had once again applied to dismiss the lawsuit on the grounds of the dissolution of the cryptocurrency department by the US Department of Justice.
