CoinVoice has recently learned that according to CryptoSlate, Trump promised to relax cryptocurrency law enforcement during his campaign. Current and former U.S. government lawyers said at a conference in New York on Friday that this change will occur as Trump readjusts the policies of the Department of Justice and regulatory agencies.
Cryptocurrency fraud cases won’t get a free pass, lawyers said, but they also won’t be a priority. The focus of government agencies and departments will likely shift to areas such as immigration enforcement, another Trump campaign promise.
Scott Hartman, co-chair of the securities and commodities task force at the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s Office, said the office will devote fewer resources to cryptocurrency-related crimes. This means that there will be fewer prosecutors handling cryptocurrency cases than when the cryptocurrency industry collapsed in 2022, triggering the “crypto winter.”
