支持Ripple( XRP ) 的律师兼共和党人约翰·迪顿 (John Deaton) 在他的 X 账户上分享了一段 TikTok 视频,其中美国喜剧演员乔恩·斯图尔特 (Jon Stewart) 对美国国防部“不受监控”的支出发出了警报。迪顿引用了这段视频,称这就是为什么埃隆·马斯克领导的 DOGE 是“必要的”。
斯图尔特强调了五角大楼的预算与军人面临的现实之间的脱节。 “我们摆脱了 20 年的战争,五角大楼得到了加薪,”斯图尔特说道。 “我不明白向一个部门提供 8500 亿美元怎么意味着普通员工仍然需要依靠食品券。对我来说,这就是腐败。 ”
龙链律师、支持加密货币的共和党人约翰·迪顿 (John Deaton) 引用了一段 TikTok 视频,其中包括他的 X 账户上的采访,他说:“如果你认为埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 和维韦克·拉马斯瓦米 (Vivek Ramaswamy) 的 DOGE 没有必要,请观看这个。”
迪顿也支持XRP ,他似乎建议政府效率部(DOGE)可以为五角大楼等部门带来急需的问责制。
迪顿的批评延伸到美国证券交易委员会(SEC)与多家加密货币公司之间持续存在的法律冲突,包括针对龙链的案件。美国证券交易委员会指控 Dragonchain 提供未经注册的加密资产安全产品,就像它对Ripple Labs 及其代币XRP所做的那样。
在最近一份与 SEC 案件相关的法庭文件中,迪顿猛烈抨击了该机构的激进策略,声称 SEC 的某些律师继续欺凌美国企业家,尤其是加密货币领域的企业家。
迪顿在 X 上表示:“美国证券交易委员会的某些律师在针对美国企业家的非欺诈加密货币案件中继续采取欺凌策略。”他补充说,起源于迪士尼的龙链“是最美国的”。
@SECGov的某些律师在针对美国企业家的非欺诈加密案件中继续采取欺凌策略。 @dragonchain起源于迪士尼。没有比这更美国化的了。 @GaryGensler和他的亲信不会做正确的事,所以我们战斗。 https://t.co/LsOT5E8WXj

The court filing also raised concerns about the SEC’s current approach to litigation, citing upcoming changes in leadership that could affect the agency’s strategy.
“There are fast-approaching changes to SEC leadership and enforcement priorities,” the filing read. “This case meets those criteria,” referencing an expected shift away from litigation that does not involve investor fraud or imminent harm.
As Deaton and other legal experts continue to challenge the SEC’s enforcement strategies, the agency itself is undergoing a period of transition. The departure of SEC Chair Gary Gensler, who has been heavily involved in crypto-related enforcement, has sparked speculation about the future direction of the agency.
Gensler’s tenure has been marked by aggressive actions against cryptocurrency firms, including high-profile lawsuits against Ripple, Coinbase, and Binance.
John Reed Stark, former chief of the SEC’s Office of Internet Enforcement, criticized Gensler’s approach, suggesting that the financial authority’s leadership has become too entrenched in aggressive enforcement tactics. Stark noted the promotion of several senior enforcement officers who have been at the forefront of the agency’s crypto crackdown.
“SEC Chair Gary Gensler is clearly attempting to pilot the SEC Enforcement Division from the grave,” Stark remarked. “Since Donald Trump’s election, Gensler has promoted five Senior Officers within the SEC Enforcement Division at SEC Headquarters. Four of these SEC enforcement staff cut their teeth as SEC crypto-enforcement superstars.”
Stark speculated that the incoming leadership, expected to follow a pro-crypto agenda, could bring about significant changes in the way the agency handles crypto enforcement cases. However, he warned that seasoned enforcement staff might face challenges in adapting to new policies.
However, the incoming pro-crypto agenda under the regulator’s chair nominee Paul Atkins may signal a shift in how the agency handles such cases moving forward. Under this new leadership, the SEC could change its approach to enforcement, particularly in cases involving companies like Ripple, Coinbase, and others embroiled in similar legal battles.
