Vivek Ramaswamy, un empresario estadounidense y candidato presidencial para las elecciones estadounidenses de 2024, ha criticado el trato que la administración de Joe Biden da a los mezcladores de criptomonedas. El candidato republicano es un gran partidario de Bitcoin y otros activos digitales y dio a conocer un marco de política criptográfica el 16 de noviembre en la Cumbre Blockchain de América del Norte (NABS) en Fort Worth, Texas.
La nueva política, noble “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 arrestaron a los cofundadores de Tornado Cash, Roman Storm y Roman Semenov en agosto. Los dos fueron acusados de violar las sanciones y lavar cientos de millones de dólares para el Grupo Lazarus, un grupo de hackers norcoreano.
