The NY Review of Books has published an opinion piece by Senior Judge Jed S. Rakoff of the Southern District of New York, who says that cryptocurrencies will likely serve "no positive purpose" other than fraud and crime. I ain’t now lawyer, but I’m pretty sure that so openly communicating your personal bias towards an entire industry is a pretty banging violation of your oath to impartiality. What's more is that he directly references the Samourai Wallet sentencing – claiming that the developers were sentenced "for facilitating more than $200 million in money laundering." Except that that's not what they were sentenced for – the money laundering charge was dropped in exchange for a guilty plea to unlicensed money transmission. It is beyond unbelievable that a judge would see no problem in publicly expressing such opinions while getting literally the most basic facts wrong on cases that appeared in his own district court.
