U.S. charges Nostr CEO with money laundering: authorities have accused the little-known platform of laundering funds tied to illicit zapping but have not being able to arrest its founder.

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.

The Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) formally labeled Nostr Inc. a "primary money-laundering concern," which is among the most serious sanctions in the government's criminal-fighting arsenal because it usually cuts off a business off from the global financial system. 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.
