U.S. Justice Department Official Declares Writing Code Without Bad Intent ’Not a Crime’ - Major Win for Crypto Developers

Code isn't criminal—intent is. That's the bombshell declaration from a top U.S. Justice Department official, sending shockwaves through the tech and crypto sectors.

Legal Shield for Developers

Finally—clarity for builders. The DOJ draws a clear line: writing code without malicious purpose doesn't constitute criminal activity. No more vague threats hanging over developers pushing innovation forward.

Crypto's Regulatory Thaw

This stance could defrost the regulatory deep freeze that's chilled crypto development. Suddenly, building decentralized protocols looks less like legal Russian roulette—though let's be real, the SEC will still find ways to sue anything that threatens their banking buddies' profit margins.

Build Without Fear

Time to code with confidence. The message echoes through Silicon Valley and crypto hubs worldwide: innovation isn't illegal. Unless you're actually trying to break the law—then maybe stick to traditional finance where that behavior gets rewarded with bonuses.
