Rep. Sherman to Zuckerberg: You’re Trying to Help ‘Drug Dealers, Terrorists’ with Your Cryptocurrency

EXCERPT:

SHERMAN: “I know you’ve got at least 100 lawyers that will tell you that what you’re doing is legal and that you will be safe. But given the harm that this can do, they could be very wrong. And if this explodes the way it might, especially you will not be able to hide behind the idea that you didn’t create the Libra organization, that it is just your business partners that have wallets designed for drug dealers and terrorists. I — I have a few more things to say, but for the richest man in the world to come here and hide behind the poorest people in the world, and say that’s who you’re really trying to help, you’re trying to help those for whom the dollar is not a good currency, drug dealers, terrorists, tax evaders."
