Vivek Ramaswamy, un entrepreneur américain et candidat à la présidentielle pour les élections américaines de 2024, a critiqué le traitement réservé aux mélangeurs de crypto par l'administration de Joe Biden. Le candidat républicain est un fervent partisan du Bitcoin et d’autres actifs numériques et a dévoilé un cadre politique en matière de cryptographie le 16 novembre lors du Sommet nord-américain de la blockchain (NABS) à Fort Worth, au Texas.

La nouvelle politique, titré “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 arrêté les co-fondateurs de Tornado Cash, Roman Storm et Roman Semenov en août. Les deux hommes ont été accusés d'avoir enfreint les sanctions et d'avoir blanchi des centaines de millions de dollars pour le compte du groupe Lazarus, un groupe de piratage informatique nord-coréen.

Comme indiqué précédemment par Bitnation, Elon Musk, fondateur et PDG de Tesla et SpaceX, a fait l'éloge de Vivek Ramaswamy, ajoutant : “He is a very promising candidate.”
