A recent statement by the founder of Australian CoinJar cryptoblog Escher Teng that “in the US, blockchain projects are designed in such a way that they do not allow the American government to interfere in their activities,” then looks naive. Indeed, the US Securities and Exchange Commission, within the powers vested in…
