Block faces DOJ AML settlement of about $764M as bitcoin profit falls 50%

CoinDesk and The Defiant report that Jack Dorsey's Block faces a proposed federal anti-money-laundering settlement with the DOJ. The Defiant says the deal in principle is $964 million, reduced to about $764 million by credits for prior regulatory resolutions. Both posts state that Block's quarterly bitcoin gross profit fell 50%, which they attribute primarily to Cash App trading fee cuts.
