U.S. Senate (MA)

John Deaton said in a YouTube video that he believes there was intentional misconduct by SEC lawyers. Deaton says people should be fired because of the blatant misconduct in the Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit.

He claimed crypto is not widely used for "illicit" activity because transactions are discoverable on the blockchain, which is public but uses alphanumeric keys instead of a person's identity. "What I'm saying is Hamas actually issued a directive not to use crypto because it was too traceable," he said. "The NSA, the FBI, the CIA, have all come out and said they hope that criminals use Bitcoin. It's an open, distributed ledger. You can trace every single transaction."
