Operation Choke Point was a crackdown by the US regulators on “high-risk” companies in 2013. It was a rogue operation that cut down the banking access of the companies related to firearms, drugs, loans, etc. The Venture Capitalist Nic Carter believes the government has launched a similar crackdown on the crypto Entreprisen since Jan. 3.
Den 3. Januar, d'US Reguléierer, dorënner d'Federal Reserve, d'Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), an den Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), hunn eng gemeinsam Ausso un d'Banken erausginn.
