D.A. Bragg, Senator Myrie Announce New Bill To Combat Use Of Cryptocurrency To Commit Crimes Click For More

District Attorney Bragg said: “The shadow financial system created by the explosion of cryptocurrency has created an ideal vehicle for money laundering and other crimes in New York State. Crypto is the go-to means for bad actors to move and hide the proceeds of crime. It is long past time for businesses that operate without a virtual currency license and flout due diligence requirements to face criminal penalties. I thank Senator Myrie for his leadership on this issue and urge the legislature to take action this session.”

In Manhattan, major crime is down in nearly every category compared to last year. And so far this year Manhattan had ZERO homicides, a first since 2018!

Murders and shootings continue to decline to pre-pandemic levels. There is always more work to do, but along with our partners at the NYPD we are continuing our efforts to reduce gun violence and keep our borough safe.
