NBTV: Your Money, Your Data, Your Life The MYTH about Bitcoin’s Role In Illicit Activity: DEBUNKED
Janet Yellen was just unanimously approved by The U.S. Senate Finance Committee for Treasury secretary. She’s taking over from Mnuchin, and is so far not off to a good start regarding cryptocurrency.
Earlier this week she said that cryptocurrencies are “a particular concern” when it comes to criminal activity and terrorist financing.
“I think many [cryptocurrencies] are used, at least in a transaction sense, mainly for illicit financing."
Forbes contributor Hailey Lennon noted in a recent article that Yellen is just plain incorrect. The money laundering tool of choice is still the good old US Treasury.
