John Deaton, famous as the crypto lawyer, has been a part of the long running legal battle between the US SEC and Ripple. As an amicus curiae, he represented thousands of XRP holders in the case. However, he even filed an amicus brief in support of a motion for interlocutory appeal on behalf of over 4,000 customers in the Coinbase case.
Sen. Warren and Deaton went face to face on the policies in the fiery debate. Pro-crypto lawyer highlighted state issues like illegal immigration and inflation. He questioned why Warren would focus on crypto amidst these challenges.
She defended her stance by stating that she supports crypto trading but insists the industry must comply with the same regulations as banks. This is needed just in order to ensure consumer protection and counter-terrorism measures. The senator argued that crypto often facilitates illegal activities which is linked to terrorists and drug traffickers. For a while, both candidates agreed that traditional banking has failed many Americans.
Deaton criticized Warren’s focus on crypto during a Senate Banking Committee hearing. He noted that she didn’t question JPMorgan’s CEO about the bank’s history with sex trafficking, despite having the opportunity.
In a fight back, Warren countered by pointing out that 90% of Deaton’s campaign funding comes from the crypto industry. She alleges that those funds would expect a favorable return on investment if he were elected.
