The law required every crypto-to-fiat and crypto-to-crypto transaction to pass through a compliance certificate issued by a government-approved validator under the SARA system, and threatened 2-to-8-year prison sentences for trading via unlicensed platforms, a punishment so wildly out of proportion to the alleged offense it would make a medieval torture enthusiast nod in approval.
