Onchain, in court: What happened in crypto legal news this week

- CFTC stamped a trading ban on former Alameda and FTX executives — which is paperwork-speak for "your signature privileges are revoked, please exit the hash manifest." Alameda already had the audit trail of a sieve; now the footer reads "banned." Meanwhile, US prosecutors opposed a motion from a soldier accused of profiting off Maduro's removal — Creative compliance meets the meat wallet of geopolitics. Not on the manifest? File anyway. Who gets fined is who forgot the footer, and this week the footers are stacking up like PoD seals on a threadbare hull. Sign here. Audit trail or audit prison.
