In a February 5 court filing, Karony\u2019s defense team asked for a postponement from March to April 2025, citing potential changes in how digital assets are regulated. They referenced a January executive order from Trump that could affect how the SEC views crypto assets like SafeMoon, possibly retroactively altering the case.<\/p>\n
The case stems from a 2023 indictment in which Karony and two others were accused of stealing millions of dollars worth of SafeMoon tokens.<\/p>\n
The charges include securities fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering, with SafeMoon\u2019s classification as a security being central to the case. Karony\u2019s legal team argues that, should the SEC revise its stance, the charges could be invalidated.<\/p>\n
