The SEC’s decentralization framework has been corrupted and used to persecute builders —incentivizing rug pulls over value creation.
It’s time to fix it.
Decentralization should mean the absence of control, not the suppression of ongoing efforts.
Here’s how and why👇

“Mainstream media stories about crypto tend to focus on eye-catching allegations of illicit financial activity, particularly when cryptocurrency is used to launder the proceeds of a hack, ransomware attack, or other cybercrime activity.
As former prosecutors who spent a substantial part of our careers putting away bad guys — including money launderers — our interest is not in making headlines, but rather in helping Congress and other policymakers figure out which measures will be most effective in catching bad actors and reigning in illicit financial activity in the emerging crypto industry.
In brief, the U.S. government should address criminal acts by foreign bad actors who are the principal threat.
Below are some suggestions for how it can do so.”

The SEC sank to new lows yesterday.
Since day one, the SEC has said tokens *are* securities, even though that makes no sense as a matter of law.
Yesterday in the Binance case, they finally admit that's wrong — and gaslight a federal court about YEARS of their own arguments 🤯
