Vivek Ramaswamy, ein amerikanischer Unternehmer und Präsidentschaftskandidat für die US-Wahlen 2024, hat die Behandlung von Krypto-Mixern durch die Joe Biden-Regierung kritisiert. Der republikanische Kandidat ist ein großer Befürworter von Bitcoin und anderen digitalen Vermögenswerten und stellte am 16. November auf dem North American Blockchain Summit (NABS) in Fort Worth, Texas, einen Rahmen für die Kryptopolitik vor.

Die neue Politik, betitelt “The Three Freedoms of Crypto,” states that the developers of the smart contract code should not be punished for the crimes committed by those who use the smart contract code. Vivek Ramaswamy added that cryptocurrency mixers are protected by the US Constitution’s First Amendment.

“I believe that code is a form of speech and is protected by the First Amendment. So, when you take an example, like the case brought against the Tornado Cash folks, for example, put aside the specifics of whether what was done is right or wrong. You can’t go after the developers of code. What you actually need to implement is going after individual bad actors that are breaking the laws that already exist on the books,” he said.

Vivek Ramaswamy promised to “direct government prosecutors to prosecute bad actors, not the code they use and not the developers who write that code,” while adding that if he becomes the president of the US, he will provide regulatory clarity by giving new digital assets “safe harbor” exemptions from the securities laws for a period of time after their debut and to prevent any federal agency from creating rules that limit the use of self-hosted wallets.

The Republican also criticized the recent sanctions against crypto mixer Tornado Cash noting, “the case brought against the Tornado Cash folks, for example. […] You can’t go after the developers of code.” It is crucial to note that US prosecutors verhaftete die Mitbegründer von Tornado Cash, Roman Storm und Roman Semenov im August. Den beiden wurde vorgeworfen, gegen Sanktionen verstoßen und Hunderte Millionen Dollar für die Lazarus Group, eine nordkoreanische Hackergruppe, gewaschen zu haben.

Wie Bitnation zuvor berichtete, lobte Elon Musk, der Gründer und CEO von Tesla und SpaceX, Vivek Ramaswamy und fügte hinzu: “He is a very promising candidate.”
