O salário do presidente da SEC deve ser reduzido para $1, afirma legislador dos EUA
- O legislador norte-americano Tim Burchett has proposed an amendment to reduce SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s salary to $1.
- Uma estimativa confirma que o regulador ganha atualmente cerca de $300.000 por ano pelas suas funções.
- O deputado Steve Womack disse que a agência estava se tornando um fardo financeiro indevido para o governo.
- US Congressman Warren Davidson introduced the “SEC Stabilization Act,” asking for Gensler to be fired.
Um legislador dos Estados Unidos quer reduzir o salário de Gary Gensler, presidente da Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), para apenas $1 por ano. Gensler foi acusado de abusar de seus poderes e de regular o setor de ativos digitais por meio de ações de fiscalização, expulsando empresas focadas em blockchain nos EUA.
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.
O projeto de lei do FSGG foi introduzido 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.
Uma reportagem do New York Post reivindicado que Gary Gensler está transformando a SEC em uma república das bananas, deixando de atingir bolsas fraudulentas como a FTX, que operavam bem debaixo de seu nariz enquanto tomavam ações coercivas contra várias empresas sem provas e argumentos adequados.
Conforme relatado anteriormente pela Bitnation, o congressista dos EUA Warren Davidson introduced the “SEC Stabilization Act” na Câmara dos Deputados em 12 de junho, pedindo a demissão de Gensler e reorganizando a agência.
