US Attorney General: "If you are developing software, if you are a coder, and you are not the third party user and you are not helping and knowing the third party is using what you develop to commit crimes, you are not going to be investigated and not going to be charged."
"If you're a coder out there and you are under investigation or you have to hire a lawyer to respond to subpoenas, your lawyer should feel very comfortable communicating with the FBI, communicating with the prosecutor on the case and making sure that they are not violating my memo."
