DOJ Gets A Judicial Middle Finger

If you are looking for a win in the courtroom for anything crypto-related, here’s one. 🔦

New York Judge Michael Wiles gave the Department of Justice (DOJ) the middle finger by denying their appeal to stop the $1 billion asset-sale plan between Voyager Digital and Binance.US.

The DOJ filed an appeal motion just 24 hours after the judge approved the deal, but Judge Wiles ain’t havin’ it. He’s all like, “Nah, bro, we’re not delaying this any further and screwing over Voyager’s customers.” 

The judge basically said, “Look, the DOJ hasn’t even discussed the authorities I cited, and their arguments are just straw man BS. Nice try, but I already made my decision, and I stand by it.” Boom, mic drop. 🎤
