📣 FinCEN's Crypto Proposals Challenge US Constitutional Principles
posted 8 Dec 2023
Crypto enthusiast Preston Pysh has scrutinized the recent proposals by
the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) aimed at tracking all
cryptocurrency transactions. He contends that these rules are in
conflict with several US laws and the Constitution, and they do not
align with the traditional scope of bank transfers.
Pysh
references the Supreme Court case "Carpenter v. United States," where
smartphone tracking was deemed a search, necessitating a proper warrant.
He also notes that under the law, citizens are not obliged to report
standard purchases.
As
of now, ongoing consultations between civic leaders and FinCEN will
extend until the end of January 2024. This period is intended for
officials to collect the required information. However, the crypto
community is already mounting significant resistance against these
preliminary regulatory measures.
