Ask HN: Legal status of bitcoin exchangers in the US

6 pointsby jnhnum1about 14 years ago

I was thinking of launching a competitor to Mt. Gox. But I don't want to end up in jail on counts of money laundering, being an unregistered money transmitter, or anything like that. What are the relevant laws here?
