【U.S. Congressman French Hill Promises to Investigate "Operation Chokepoint 2.0"】On December 3, U.S. Congressman French Hill publicly promised to investigate "Operation Chokepoint 2.0," a program 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 legitimate and substantial reasons, characterizing such actions as weaponizing government resources. He emphasized the importance of fairness and transparency in financial regulation, claiming that this practice harms legitimate businesses. In a recent social media post, he condemned the Biden-Harris administration for continuing these practices, pointing out their similarity to the original "Operation Chokepoint." He announced his intention to push for the legislative body to review the actions and policies of regulatory agencies to determine whether they comply with legal standards. Additionally, Hill expressed a strong stance to eliminate political targeting in financial regulation. He emphasized the importance of developing financial regulatory measures targeting specific institutions as part of his broader reform agenda. He suggested requiring federal prudential regulators to consider factors such as size, risk profile, and business model when implementing policies. This approach would prevent one-size-fits-all regulation and ensure that smaller community banks and credit unions are not burdened unfairly.
