U.S. Seizes Cuba-Bound Oil Tanker Off Venezuelan Coast: An unnamed source said “the ship was enroute to Cuba, where the state firm Cubametales was planning to sell it to Asian energy brokers.” Due to U.S. sanctions, most of Venezuela’s oil product is sold to China. “It was seized because of its past links to smuggling illicit Iranian oil, not because of ties to the Maduro regime, although it was carrying Venezuelan oil. A federal judge authorized a seizure warrant for the tanker roughly two weeks ago,” a US official said. (Breitbart) -US Events- 1.

Upcoming Crypto Market Structure Bill Markup Likely Pushed To Post-Holiday: The much-anticipated crypto market structure bill, intended to establish a clearer regulatory framework for digital assets in the United States, appears to be facing significant delays. Recent discussions among a bipartisan group of pro-crypto senators suggest that a markup, initially expected before Christmas, may be postponed until after the holiday season. (Bitcoinist) 2. Pardoning the Samourai Developers Would Restore Legal Clarity and Protect Non-Custodial Code: This case has already had a measurable chilling effect on developers working on privacy and security tools in the United States. Leaving the convictions in place would discourage responsible innovation and push critical work to jurisdictions that do not share our commitment to open research and transparent development. A pardon would correct a clear misapplication of federal law, protect the integrity of long-standing distinctions in financial regulation, and reaffirm that publishing non-custodial software is not—and should not become—a criminal act.

Bitcoin Exchange Paxful Agrees to Plead Guilty, Hit With $7.5 Million in Penalties: Paxful pleaded guilty to federal charges and will pay $7.5 million total in criminal and civil penalties for enabling money laundering and criminal activity on its Bitcoin exchange.
