Democrats Accuse DOJ of Granting Crypto Criminals a ‘Free Pass’ After Disbanding NCET

Democratic lawmakers are condemning the Department of Justice’s decision to dismantle the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team (NCET), arguing it presents a dangerous “gift” to criminals who exploit cryptocurrencies. Senator Elizabeth Warren and six other Senate Democrats penned a letter to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, urging him to reconsider this move after the DOJ formally disbanded NCET on April 7th.
