Cynthia Lummis wzywa Departament Sprawiedliwości do podjęcia działań przeciwko Binance i Tether
- Cynthia Lummis i French Hill zwrócili się do urzędników Departamentu Sprawiedliwości o podjęcie działań przeciwko Binance i Tether.
- Przedstawiciele USA twierdzą, że Hamas wykorzystuje Binance do gromadzenia funduszy.
- Twierdzą również, że Tether nie zastosował się do polityki sankcji i ustawy o tajemnicy bankowej.
- Elliptic said that Hamas’ crypto usage is “very tiny” and US lawmakers are manipulating facts.
Cynthia Lummis, an American attorney and politician who is currently the junior United States senator from Wyoming, along with businessman and politician French Hill, who is currently serving as the representative for Arkansas’s 2nd congressional district, have called for a Department of Justice (DoJ) action against the world’s largest crypto exchange Binance and the issuer of the stablecoin USDT, Tether.
W list dated October 26 and sent to United States Attorney General Merrick Garland, Cynthia Lummis and French Hill asked the Justice Department officials to “reach a charging decision on Binance” and “expeditiously conclude” investigations of allegedly illicit activities involving Tether. The two companies form the core of the digital asset community, as Binance has the highest trading volume while Tether issues the largest stablecoin by market capitalization.
Cynthia Lummis and Hill noted that “crypto assets and distributed ledger technology have the potential to drive responsible innovation in US financial markets” and added that “we must be careful not to paint all crypto asset intermediaries as suspects when a small handful of bad actors use them for nefarious purposes.”
Przedstawiciele oświadczyli w piśmie, że Hamas wykorzystuje Binance do finansowania swoich programów terrorystycznych. Lummis i Hill wskazali na wcześniejsze artykuły Financial Times i Wall Street Journal, w których stwierdzono, że władze izraelskie zamykają konta na Binance w związku z finansowaniem Hamasu.
Interestingly, Elliptic, a blockchain analysis provider, has pointed out that the usage of cryptocurrency by Hamas is “very tiny,” and the WSJ reports along with the US representatives are manipulating facts to make crypto look bad.
According to Lummis, Tether is “knowingly facilitating violations of applicable sanctions laws and the Bank Secrecy Act by failing to conduct adequate customer due diligence and screenings despite being aware that its product is used to facilitate terrorism and other illicit activities.”
“We urge the Department of Justice to carefully evaluate the extent to which Binance and Tether are providing material support and resources to support terrorism through violations of applicable sanctions laws and the Bank Secrecy Act,” said Lummis and Hill.
Cynthia Lummis and Hill said that they “strongly support swift action by the Department of Justice against Binance and Tether to choke off sources of funding to the terrorists currently targeting Israel.”
Jak wcześniej informowała Bitnation, Cynthia Lummis poprosiła o to prawodawców stworzyć kompleksowe ramy regulacyjne dla branży aktywów cyfrowych w lipcu.
