Polititians should be hooked up to lie detectors when addressing the public or goverment. Could you imagine if they couldnt lie to us. They'd probably all quit.
We've let all the law firms we work with know, that if they hire anyone who committed these bad deeds in the (soon to be) prior administration, we will no longer be a client of theirs.
Senior partners at these law firms seem unaware of the crypto industry's position on this.
For instance, Milbank recently messed up and hired Gurbir. We don't work with them now (and never will while he works there).
It's an ethics violation in my book to try and unlawfully kill an industry while refusing to publish clear rules. If you were senior there, you cannot say you were just following orders. They had the option to leave the SEC and many good people did. It was not a normal SEC tenure.
They can go work in other areas (I don't believe in permanently cancelling people), but we as an industry should not be putting money in their pocket after the abuse. Let your law firms know that hiring these folks means losing you as a client.
