Администрация Трампа может пересмотреть санкции против Tornado Cash

cryptonews.ruPublicado em 2023-10-28Última atualização em 2024-11-28

Позиция Министерства финансов США по делу Tornado Cash может измениться с приходом новой администрации. Апелляционный суд пятого округа США признал, что Управление по контролю за иностранными активами (OFAC) превысило свои полномочия, когда в 2022 году внесло в санкционный список некоторые смарт-контракты криптовалютного миксера.

«У OFAC по-прежнему есть значительные полномочия для санкционирования организаций, связанных с Tornado Cash», — отметил старший юрист и директор по глобальным регуляторным вопросам Consensys Билл Хьюз (Bill Hughes) в разговоре с изданием Cointelegraph. По его словам, после решения от 26 ноября дело, вероятно, вернется в суды низшей инстанции, где юристам придется повторно подавать ходатайства. Этот процесс может занять несколько месяцев.

С приходом новой президентской администрации в 2025 году Минфин США может адаптировать свой санкционный режим в соответствии с решением суда или продолжить оспаривать это решение в апелляционном порядке.

«При администрации Трампа больше вероятность того, что это мнение будет принято в качестве политики Минфина», — подчеркнул Хьюз.

В августе 2022 года OFAC при администрации Джо Байдена (Joe Biden) внесло в список специально определенных граждан 44 адреса смарт-контрактов Tornado Cash. Ведомство утверждало, что через миксер было отмыто более $7 млрд в криптовалюте, включая средства, украденные связанной с Северной Кореей группой Lazarus.

В 2023 году Министерство юстиции США предъявило обвинения соучредителям Tornado Cash Роману Шторму и Роману Семенову. Шторм был арестован, его суд назначен на апрель 2025 года. Эксперты считают, что ему может грозить до 45 лет тюрьмы. Семенов в настоящее время находится в списке самых разыскиваемых лиц ФБР.

«Думаю, судебное преследование [Шторма] продолжится. Состоится суд, и его либо оправдают, либо криптосообщество призовет президента Трампа смягчить приговор или помиловать его», — предположил Хьюз.

Третий соучредитель Tornado Cash Алексей Перцев был приговорен властями Нидерландов к пяти годам тюремного заключения за отмывание денег. Он остается под стражей, пока его адвокаты готовят апелляцию.

Real-life 'Black Mirror' Pumpfun Go: 40 Yuan to Lick Toilets, 14,000 USD for a Logo Tattoo on the Forehead

The article discusses the controversial new platform "Pumpfun Go," a bounty task platform launched by the meme coin platform Pump.fun. Its slogan is "Pay anyone to do anything." The platform allows users to anonymously post tasks with cryptocurrency rewards, which are held in escrow until completion and verification. The piece highlights extreme and disturbing tasks that have gained notoriety, such as licking a gas station toilet floor for roughly $5.63, eating live insects, getting a company logo tattooed on one's forehead for $14,000, and even a now-removed $700,000 bounty for suicide. These tasks are often linked to promoting specific meme coins by generating shocking, attention-grabbing content. While some tasks involve community-building or charity, critics, including New York Governor Kathy Hochul, condemn the platform for exploiting economic desperation and encouraging humiliating or dangerous behavior. They argue it mirrors dystopian narratives from shows like "Black Mirror" and movies like "Nerve," where online dares escalate for viewers' entertainment. Supporters and some participants counter that the platform provides much-needed income opportunities for the financially struggling. One user claimed the bounty money far exceeded his monthly salary. The article concludes by questioning the morality of a system where the wealthy pay for spectacle and the poor trade dignity for survival, reflecting a long history of public consumption of others' suffering. It suggests hope may lie in future technological abundance freeing people from such desperate choices.

Faked Trades, Clone Websites, 1105 Videos: Polymarket Under CFTC Scrutiny

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has launched a wide-ranging investigation into prediction market platform Polymarket. The probe, triggered by a Wall Street Journal report, focuses on allegations of systematic marketing fraud. The report revealed Polymarket allegedly hired dozens of student content creators to post over 1,100 videos showing fake, profitable trades on cloned websites, without disclosing the paid relationships. These videos, with over 140 million views, were pivotal to user growth. Simultaneously, the National Association of Consumer Advocates (NACA) filed a lawsuit in Washington D.C., accusing Polymarket and its executives of deceptive advertising targeting college students. The suit details off-campus promotions and payments made through the CMO's personal PayPal account to influencers who failed to disclose sponsorships. The investigation places CFTC Chairman Michael Selig in a difficult position, as he has been a vocal advocate for prediction markets and is currently suing multiple states to assert federal jurisdiction over them. This case tests the CFTC's dual role as both promoter and enforcer. This marks Polymarket's second major clash with the CFTC. After a 2022 settlement and U.S. ban, it regained approval to operate in September 2025, secured a $20 billion investment, and saw its valuation soar. The current crisis, compounded by a recent $3.1 million front-end supply chain attack, represents the platform's most severe multi-front challenge since its founding.

Real-Life 'Black Mirror' Pumpfun Go: 40 Yuan to Lick a Toilet, $14,000 to Tattoo a Logo on Your Forehead

Pumpfun Go, a bounty task platform launched by the meme coin platform Pump.fun, is facing intense controversy. The platform's slogan "Pay anyone to do anything" has manifested in real-world tasks where participants perform increasingly extreme or demeaning acts for cryptocurrency rewards. These tasks range from licking a gas station toilet floor for roughly $5.63 to getting a permanent "bounty.fun" logo tattooed on one's forehead for $14,000. Other completed challenges include eating live insects and quitting a job on camera. The highest-value active bounty offers approximately $560,000 for climbing Mount Everest and placing a bet on a specified platform. While some tasks involve promoting meme coins or community events, the platform has drawn widespread criticism for incentivizing the exploitation of economic desperation. Participants, often citing "we need money" as their motivation, complete these tasks for sums that can far exceed their regular income. Critics, including New York Governor Kathy Hochul, have condemned Pumpfun Go as a dystopian system that commodifies human dignity and preys on the vulnerable. Supporters argue it provides a novel income opportunity for those in need. The debate highlights deeper societal issues around power, inequality, and the historical human fascination with spectacles of humiliation. The platform's existence raises questions about the ethical limits of anonymous online markets and the persistent reality where financial need forces individuals to trade their dignity for survival.
