据报道,工会希望密歇根州参议员加里·彼得斯(Gary Peters)担任民主党副总统候选人,他是一位直言不讳的加密货币批评者。

民主党总统候选人、副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯一直在为她的竞选伙伴考虑一系列选择,其中包括宾夕法尼亚州州长乔什·夏皮罗和亚利桑那州参议员马克·凯利,他们是传闻中的领先者。

但Axios援引“一位资深民主党消息人士”的话说,劳工领袖与哈里斯的竞选团队讨论过也考虑彼得斯,彼得斯自2015年以来一直在参议院任职。

Peters被数字资产倡导非营利组织Stand With Crypto评为“F”级,该组织由Coinbase去年创立。

2021年,Peters宣布对加密货币在勒索软件攻击中的作用展开调查。次年,他结束了调查,在一份总结报告中辩称,联邦政府缺乏关于勒索软件攻击及其如何使用加密货币的足够数据。

“加密货币允许犯罪分子快速勒索巨额资金,可以匿名,并且没有始终如一地遵守法规,特别是对于外国攻击者,这进一步使网络犯罪分子能够实施破坏性的勒索软件攻击,威胁到我们的国家和经济安全。”

彼得斯还共同发起了参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦(马萨诸塞州民主党人)的《数字资产反洗钱法案》。

沃伦于2022年首次提出该法案,并于去年7月再次提出,旨在使加密货币行业遵守适用于传统金融体系的相同洗钱规则。除其他事项外,它将把《银行保密法》(BSA)的责任,包括了解你的客户(KYC)要求,扩展到加密钱包提供商、矿工、验证者和其他网络参与者。

数字商会创始人兼首席执行官Perianne Boring认为,该法案将通过实施不切实际的合规要求来扼杀加密货币行业。

“正如追踪每一个美元钞票用户对油墨制造商来说是站不住脚的一样,对数字资产矿工和验证器等区块链实体施加类似的要求同样不可行,也不利于创新。”

然而,令人惊讶的是,Peters还支持支持加密货币的众议院第109号决议,该决议将推翻美国证券交易委员会(SEC)的《员工会计公告》(SAB)121。

SAB 121是一份指导公告,指出某些公司应在其资产负债表上将数字资产标记为负债,即使他们只是为客户持有数字资产。

众议院决议于今年早些时候在众议院和参议院获得通过,但在5月被乔·拜登总统否决。

本月早些时候,这项潜在的立法重新提交众议院进行投票,但没有获得推翻总统否决权所需的三分之二多数票。

The Full Story of How Crypto Unicorn Blockstream Is Mired in Serious Fraud Allegations

This article details serious allegations of fraud against Bitcoin infrastructure company Blockstream, founded by Bitcoin pioneer Adam Back. In June 2024, investigative account NatInfoSec published a report accusing Blockstream's mining note (BMN) program of potentially operating a multi-billion dollar scheme with Ponzi-like characteristics. The core allegations focus on Blockstream Mining Notes (BMNs), which offer investors fixed annual yields up to approximately 20% from Bitcoin mining. NatInfoSec's investigation raises several key issues: 1. **Suspicious Hashrate & Payout Capacity**: The analysis suggests Blockstream would need 20-45 EH/s of mining power to cover its BMN obligations, but its public dashboard shows only around 15 EH/s. Furthermore, no verifiable public evidence (e.g., grid connection records, import data) was found to support the massive mining operation required. 2. **Questionable Payout Source**: The BMN contract allows Blockstream to use Bitcoin from *any source* (Substitute Performance BTC) to fulfill investor payouts, raising concerns that payouts may not come from actual mining revenue. 3. **High-Risk, Fixed Returns**: Offering ~20% fixed yields in the volatile, cyclical Bitcoin mining industry is viewed as highly unusual and requires clear explanation. 4. **Undisclosed Criminal Record of Key Figure**: Christopher William Cook, a key figure in Blockstream's mining operations and CEO of spin-off Exacore, was found to have a federal felony conviction for mail fraud in 2008, a fact not disclosed in BMN offering documents. His background was also allegedly embellished. 5. **Potential Contagion to BSTR SPAC**: Questions were raised about whether these liabilities and Cook's record should have been disclosed in the SEC filings for Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (BSTR), a separate Adam Back-associated firm planning a SPAC merger. The crypto community is divided. BitMEX Research validated Cook's criminal record and expressed concern over the high yields but found other evidence lacking or misleading, noting the legal separation between BMN, Blockstream, and BSTR. Blockstream defenders, like Samson Mow, argue the mining is real. Critics, however, emphasize the lack of independent, verifiable proof of the mining operation's scale and the true source of investor payouts. The article concludes that BMN remains shrouded in key unanswered questions regarding its actual size, the verifiability of its underlying mining assets and payouts, the source of its high yields, and the full role and disclosure concerning Chris Cook. Blockstream had not issued a comprehensive response at the time of writing.
