The charge is operating an illegal money transmitting business, which is only 5 years maximum, so doubtful. Shocked they didn't him with violating the Bank Secrecy Act, etc. in addition, to be honest.

Money transmitters are like Western Union and similar companies where they transfer money or issue payment instruments, so the guy is being charged with no being a licensed money transmitter (as it's federal and state law to be licensed in the state(s) that you do business in). He's not being charged with any fraud since he was just moving the money around and not doing a crypto tumbler or some other laundering scheme.

It's insane how many crypto exchanges there are. I know most of them probably aren't being used by actual people and are just fronts for money laundering but it feels like every day I'm hearing about the CEO of some random exchange named Blotto being arrested.

It's really easy to run a crypto exchange if you don't care about unimportant stuff like KYC or all the money being stolen in hacks, so I guess a ton of people have a go.
