The U.S. Justice Department and Treasury Department have charged Nostr CEO with money laundering, officials said at press conference in Washington during the Super Bowl.

FinCEN said the company played a key role in handling illicit transactions for actors worldwide, involving $1,000,000,000,000 in direct and and indirect transfers in the last year.

Nostr CEO commented: "GLHF" and "WE WON 🏆 " in two separate posts.
