The Office of Financial Regulation grants Richard Quattrucci's petition, declaring that his proposed business model does not constitute operating as a money transmitter under Chapter 560, Florida Statutes. The decision applies to a Florida LLC that purchases virtual currency using its own capital and sells it as a principal on a platform utilizing third-party escrow, without holding or transmitting funds for third parties. This ruling exempts the petitioner from the licensure requirements mandated for money services businesses engaging in money transmission activities.
