“The Stockholm-based bank has for now decided not to touch Bitcoin because of the ‘large uncertainties’ relating to its status, Johan Andersson, chief risk officer at SEB, said in an e-mailed response to questions. ‘Given the rules we have established for ourselves and rules that authorities have set up to prevent money laundering, we have currently made the decision that we cannot offer transactions, accounts or currency exchange in Bitcoin,’ he said. The comments come as Bitcoin Foundation Vice Chairman Charlie Shrem was charged by the U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara for allegedly attempting to sell Bitcoins to narcotics traffickers.”
