Since it was designated a federal holiday in 2021, Juneteenth has become more universally recognized beyond Black America.

SAN FRANCISCO Jack Abramoff, a once-powerful lobbyist who spent time in federal prison for fraud and corruption, has been charged in a San Francisco court in an investor fraud case involving cryptocurrency and lobbying disclosure, federal authorities announced Thursday. U.S. Attorney David Anderson said Abramoff, 61, of Silver Spring, Maryland, has agreed to plead guilty to criminal conspiracy charges and a criminal violation of the Lobbying Disclosure Act in the case involving a cryptocurrency called AML BitCoin. Prosecutors said in 2017 Abramoff lobbied members of Congress on behalf of a California-based marijuana industry client without registering as a lobbyist. Andrade said his cryptocurrency called AML BitCoin used technologies that complied with the federal government's anti-money laundering laws and announced an initial offering of AML BitCoin in the amount of $100 million, federal officials said. In July 2017, Andrade and his company NAC Foundation began selling AML BitCoin and raised at least $5 million through the end of 2018, prosecutors said.
