Good article. Bad decision.
"The ruling is unfortunate and sets a dangerous precedent," attorney Joe Carlasare tells The Rage. "However, I understand why the Court came down in determining that Section 1960 doesn’t impose a requirement of control over assets to operate as an unlicensed money transmitter."
"Congress wanted a very broad definition of “money transmitting’ to include “but not be limited to” transferring funds on behalf of the public by ANY and ALL means including but not limited to transfers within this country or to locations abroad by wire, check, draft, facsimile, or courier."
TLDR: Let's all pack our bags and get the hell out of here.
"In pretrial proceedings, the government argued to the contrary that "the definition of “money transmitting” in Section 1960 does not require the money transmitter to have “control” of the funds being transferred. The definition extends to “transferring funds on behalf of the public by any and all means.”" This is getting really out of control. Soon it will be illegal to own cash.

I remember a lot of people saying they would leave the USA when trump was elected. Maybe another "Mass exodus" is going to happen? lol
