We’ll talk about potential federal legislation and its chances. What will this mean? Will it be full legalization across the country or something lesser? What are the risks if you operate in multiple states? How will regulators treat these types of activities and what are the expectations from an AML standpoint?

We’ll provide the current lay of the land so every institution can make an educated decision on what it wants to do and how to plan
