| Subject: Government Gunning for Cryptocurrency—Uses Ransomware as Pretext Wed Oct 20, 2021 5:27 am | |
| he U.S. Treasury Department is telling cryptocurrency fans to stop breaking sanctions and laundering money. Washington’s warning’s worried many of a crackdown on decentralized finance (DeFi).
As if that wasn’t enough, the White House also just brokered a 30-nation agreement to regulate “virtual assets”—i.e., cryptocurrency. And all this is in the name of combating ransomware, which appears to have grossed $5.2 billion in suspicious payments. How very convenient.
Won’t somebody think of the children? In today’s SB Blogwatch, we point at palatable excuses for regulation.
