At this point the stablecoin industry has its money tentacles in the entire Republican party and half of the Democratic one, we're not going to win with elite technocratic scalpel solutions that only three law professors can understand. Call them banks, make them get a license.

The first but certainly not the last.
Another epically bad stablecoin bill has just dropped (this one from Sens Lummis & Gillibrand) and so it’s time for another epically long tweet thread pointing out the ways in which this bill will make us worse off. lummis.senate.gov/press-releases…
“Making use of a trusted, audited, and transparent stablecoin” 🤔

The right decision. DOJ needs to choose sooner rather than later. #FDUSD #USDT bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
“He also disclosed to lawmakers that he had exchanged “a number of messages” with the executive.”

What a hoot! Thanks @FTAlphaville @RobinWigg @alexandrascaggs
It took a jury less than two hours to find Do and his co liable for the Ponzi he ran. It took another jury less than 5 hrs to convict SBF. These cases are open and shut. If the crypto industry wants to survive, it must follow the law. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Looking forward to reading this 🥳
In the months leading up to Binance’s settlement with the DOJ last fall, numerous articles appeared in the WSJ linking the company to funding for terrorism. apple.news/Af3C2cytbRj2ye…

@khalo_0x @ben_mckenzie The point is they’re making a subtle dig on Tether with that language
@ben_mckenzie well everybody else is moving beyond Tethers too....
@ben_mckenzie @tmnxeq All these crypto stable coins are counterfeiting USD to pump bitcoin!
@ben_mckenzie Implying that btc and bnb are unreliable and unstable. They're saying the quiet part out loud, guess the "store of value" argument is fully out the window then
@ben_mckenzie NoOoOooOoO only tether is leader in transparency !!
@melodie_edward @ben_mckenzie That's awesome. Congratulations
Two weeks ago I successfully defended my paper on subcultures in the financial industry, thereby completing my masters degree. (Yay!) Got to delve into so many interesting sources, but Easy Money by @ben_mckenzie & @SilvermanJacob was invaluable.
⚠️🚨The Heads of Government Relations, Compliance, and their trading desk, have all departed OKX As one of the biggest Tether fraud & money laundering CEXs, OKX is rumored to be under multiple criminal investigations We saw similar exec flight from #Binance before indictments

@Bitfinexed May be true; it may be the first stablecoin bill I've seen that uses the term audited financial statements. That said, there may be an open question re: how more lax state regulators will treat this requirement, if left to their own devices.
cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-s… “I’d like to withdraw my gold.” “You can’t, our mine ran out.” “Ok, but I don’t want your freshly mined gold, I want mine. The bars I left on deposit with you. I don’t care about your mine.” “Can’t.” “Why not?” “The mine ran out.”
Now seems like a good time to re-up this comment on why crypto wants the CFTC, and not the SEC. This comment was made at a Ripple-sponsored event a few weeks before FTX collapsed, while I was sitting next to HFSC Chairman Patrick McHenry (to my right, viewer's left).
🔥🔥🔥@TylerGellash says it to their faces ... @POLITICOLive conference sponsored by @Ripple Cryptocurrencies are securities, but the industry seeks regulation by the CFTC, not SEC, to dodge enforcement of the law 1/3
I cannot begin to describe how excruciatingly over it is

Anyway always act as if you are being recorded. Never be afraid to ask pointed questions and insist on being told the truth but stay calm and stay respectful. Always write everything as if it’s going to be end up in discovery. Always talk about a story with an open mind.
Very funny to see all these PR folks rush in with the most PR-y answers. “Let’s clean this up folks! List the most benign reasons possible! It’s for ‘media training’! Yeah that’s the ticket.” Evidence for the lawsuit? As something to use to smear the reporter? Heaven forfend!
When a pr person asks if they can record an interview for note taking purposes, what is it used for later?
