【U.S. Congressman French Hill Promises to Investigate 'Operation Chokepoint 2.0'】On December 3, U.S. Congressman French Hill publicly committed to investigating 'Operation Chokepoint 2.0', an action accused of politically motivated denial of financial services to specific industries such as cryptocurrency. Hill stated that financial institutions should not terminate customer accounts without justifiable and substantive reasons, characterizing such actions as weaponizing government resources. He emphasized the importance of fairness and transparency in financial regulation, stating that this practice is detrimental to legitimate businesses. In a recent social media post, he condemned the Biden-Harris administration for continuing these practices and pointed out that they are akin to the original 'Operation Chokepoint'. He announced his intention to push for legislative review of the actions and policies of regulatory agencies to determine whether they adhere to legal standards. Additionally, Hill expressed a strong stance to eliminate political targeting in financial regulation. He emphasized that as part of his broad reform agenda, it is crucial to develop financial regulatory measures targeted at specific institutions. He suggested requiring federal prudential regulators to consider factors such as size, risk profile, and business model when implementing policies. This approach will prevent a one-size-fits-all regulation and ensure that smaller community banks and credit unions do not bear an unfair burden.
