Un legislador estadounidense quiere reducir el salario de Gary Gensler, presidente de la Comisión de Bolsa y Valores (SEC), a sólo $1 por año. Gensler ha sido acusado de hacer mal uso de sus poderes y de regular el sector de activos digitales mediante acciones coercitivas, expulsando a las empresas centradas en blockchain en los EE. UU.

Rep. Tim Burchett, the United States representative for Tennessee’s 2nd congressional district, has proposed an amendment to the Financial Services and General Government (FSGG), suggesting that Gensler’s salary be brought down to $1 and other steps should be taken to reduce the funding of the SEC.

El proyecto de ley de la FSGG fue introducido earlier this year on July 13, and it seeks to significantly reduce the government’s spending on various sectors. It is crucial to note here that the SEC Chair earns around $300,000 each year as the head of the agency. On the other hand, the overall bill aims to reduce the spending of government agencies as well. 

Rep. Steve Womack, the United States representative for Arkansas’s 3rd congressional district, introduced the bill on November 6 and said that the SEC, among other government agencies, had fallen prey to regulatory overreach and was becoming an undue financial burden on the government.

Womack said that the best course of action would be to defund the SEC and help limit its regulatory “intrusiveness” while forcing the agency to focus on its core mission. He added that “specifically, we turn off rulemakings at the Securities and Exchange Commission that lack proper cost-benefit analysis and aggregate impact analysis.”

“To be clear, the agencies under our jurisdiction perform important functions; however, many have strayed from their mandate, and the results have been a true disservice to the American people,” Womack said.

Estamos en una trayectoria insostenible.

Mi proyecto de ley controla el gasto despilfarrador de Washington para abordar nuestra terrible situación fiscal. https://t.co/lWgyvHknQQ

Un informe del New York Post reclamado que Gary Gensler está convirtiendo a la SEC en una república bananera, al no atacar los intercambios fraudulentos como FTX que operaban justo delante de sus narices mientras tomaba acciones coercitivas contra varias empresas sin pruebas ni argumentos adecuados. 

Como informó anteriormente Bitnation, el congresista estadounidense Warren Davidson introduced the “SEC Stabilization Act” a la Cámara de Representantes el 12 de junio, pidiendo el despido de Gensler y reorganizando la agencia.
