Senator Cynthia Lummis Blasts Department of Justice's Crypto Crackdown as Unlawful

參議員辛西婭·魯米斯 (Cynthia Lummis) 抨擊司法部的加密貨幣打擊行動是非法的

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) has vehemently condemned the Department of Justice's (DOJ) recent legal actions targeting cryptocurrency self-custody, accusing the Biden administration of undermining the rule of law and violating the principles of due process.

華盛頓特區——美國參議員辛西婭·魯米斯（懷俄明州共和黨）強烈譴責司法部（DOJ）最近針對加密貨幣自我託管採取的法律行動，指責拜登政府破壞法治並違反正當程序原則。

In a strongly worded statement, Senator Lummis decried the DOJ's efforts to criminalize core aspects of the Bitcoin network and decentralized finance (DeFi), arguing that such actions are both harmful and unconstitutional.

在措辭強硬的聲明中，參議員 Lummis 譴責司法部將比特幣網路和去中心化金融 (DeFi) 的核心部分定為犯罪的行為，認為此類行為既有害又違憲。

"I am deeply concerned by the Biden administration's misguided attempt to criminalize core tenets of the Bitcoin network and DeFi," Senator Lummis said. "This overreaching and ill-conceived approach violates the rule of law and infringes on the rights of law-abiding Americans."

參議員 Lummis 表示：“我對拜登政府試圖將比特幣網路和 DeFi 的核心原則定為犯罪的錯誤嘗試深感擔憂。” “這種過度和考慮不周的做法違反了法治，侵犯了守法美國人的權利。”

The Senator's rebuke comes in response to a series of recent indictments and legal actions initiated by the DOJ against cryptocurrency entities. These include the indictment of Bitcoin mixer Samourai Wallet and Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm for allegedly engaging in unlicensed money transmission.

參議員的譴責是對司法部最近針對加密貨幣實體發起的一系列起訴和法律行動的回應。其中包括對比特幣混合器 Samourai Wallet 和 Tornado Cash 開發商 Roman Storm 的起訴，罪名是涉嫌從事未經許可的資金傳輸。

Senator Lummis contends that the DOJ's interpretation of the law is flawed and contradicts established guidance issued by the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

參議員 Lummis 認為，司法部對該法律的解釋有缺陷，並且與財政部金融犯罪執法網絡 (FinCEN) 發布的既定指南相矛盾。

"The DOJ's stance is not only misguided but also conflicts with existing Treasury guidance," Senator Lummis said. "Every functioning cryptocurrency wallet and smart contract is, in essence, involved in money transmission. By criminalizing these activities, the DOJ is effectively criminalizing the very foundation of the cryptocurrency ecosystem."

「司法部的立場不僅是誤導性的，而且與財政部現有的指導方針相衝突，」參議員魯米斯說。 「本質上，每一個有效的加密貨幣錢包和智能合約都涉及資金傳輸。通過將這些活動定為犯罪，司法部實際上正在將加密貨幣生態系統的基礎定為犯罪。”

The DOJ's actions have sparked widespread opposition within the cryptocurrency community, with advocacy groups like Coin Center leading the charge against the government's overreach.

美國司法部的行動引發了加密貨幣界的廣泛反對，硬幣中心等倡導團體帶頭指控政府的越權行為。

"The DOJ's actions are a clear attempt to stifle innovation and undermine the growth of the cryptocurrency industry," said Peter Van Valkenburgh, director of research at Coin Center. "Their interpretation of the law is not only legally dubious but also harmful to the development of a robust and responsible digital asset ecosystem."

硬幣中心研究主任 Peter Van Valkenburgh 表示：“司法部的行動顯然是為了扼殺創新並破壞加密貨幣行業的發展。” “他們對法律的解釋不僅在法律上存在疑問，而且不利於發展強大和負責任的數位資產生態系統。”

Coin Center has filed an amicus brief in support of Roman Storm, arguing that the publication of Tornado Cash's code is protected under the First Amendment. The organization maintains that the DOJ's prosecution of Storm sets a dangerous precedent that could have far-reaching implications for the industry.

Coin Center 已提交一份支持 Roman Storm 的非當事人意見陳述，認為 Tornado Cash 代碼的發布受到第一修正案的保護。該組織堅稱，司法部對 Storm 的起訴開創了一個危險的先例，可能對該行業產生深遠的影響。

Senator Lummis reiterated her unwavering support for responsible regulation of the cryptocurrency industry but emphasized the need for a balanced approach that fosters innovation while protecting consumers and upholding the rule of law.

Lummis 參議員重申了她對加密貨幣產業負責任監管的堅定支持，但強調需要採取平衡的方法，在促進創新的同時保護消費者和維護法治。

"I believe in a future where digital assets play a significant role in our economy," Senator Lummis said. "However, regulation must be carefully tailored to address legitimate risks without stifling innovation or infringing on the rights of Americans."

「我相信未來數位資產將在我們的經濟中發揮重要作用，」參議員魯米斯說。 “然而，監管必須仔細調整，以解決合法風險，同時又不扼殺創新或侵犯美國人的權利。”

The Senator urged the Biden administration to reconsider its approach to cryptocurrency and work with Congress to develop a comprehensive regulatory framework that balances the need for consumer protection with the principles of due process and free speech.

這位參議員敦促拜登政府重新考慮對加密貨幣的態度，並與國會合作制定一個全面的監管框架，以平衡消費者保護的需要與正當程序和言論自由的原則。

"The future of cryptocurrency in the United States is at stake," Senator Lummis concluded. "We must ensure that the government's actions align with the principles of liberty and the rule of law."

盧米斯參議員總結道：“美國加密貨幣的未來岌岌可危。” “我們必須確保政府的行動符合自由和法治的原則。”
