- Ex-CFTC Chair Praises White House Cybercrime Plan as 'Mature' — this brief
The former chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has praised the White House's proposal for addressing crypto-related cybercrime, calling it 'a very mature, thoughtful document.' The plan, which involves government-led action against hackers, was discussed during an appearance on the Unchained podcast.
This endorsement comes after the chairman previously suggested reviving letters of marque to combat crypto hackers, a more aggressive approach that would have involved private entities. The White House's current proposal, however, focuses on a centralized, government-run initiative.
