Ethereum adviser Steven Nerayoff has made serious allegations against US government law enforcement and regulatory agencies, including the FBI, DOJ, and SEC, accusing them of systemic corruption. These allegations come in response to a tweet by Senator Elisabeth Warren discussing the recent controversy surrounding Binance and its CEO Changpeng Zhao’s guilty plea for violating anti-money laundering laws. Nerayoff claims that he was prosecuted for a crime that was fabricated by these agencies and that he was pressured to provide information about other players in the crypto industry, which he refused to do. In a surprising turn of events, a New York judge dismissed the criminal charges against Nerayoff, citing a lack of evidence. He also revealed that the SEC had acknowledged the discovery of relevant data in response to his FOIA request, contradicting their earlier position. Nerayoff is now preparing fraud charges against Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin and Joseph Lubin, citing a 2015 recording that showcases his significant involvement with Ethereum. These allegations raise serious concerns about corruption within these regulatory agencies and the need for stricter oversight in the crypto space.
