Democrat Senator who introduced bill to combat money laundering in El Salvador gets indicted for bribery and money laundering
| |
When El Salvador passed Bitcoin legal tender laws, many US politicians and a lot of the corporate media said it would cripple El Salvador's economy and also lead to money laundering. Democrat Senator from New Jersey and Chairman of Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Bob Menendez introduced a bill last year to "mitigate risks of El Salvador's adoption of Bitcoin". He said, "We must seek greater clarity on how the adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender may impact El Salvador's financial and economic stability, as well as El Salvador's capacity to effectively combat money laundering." Now Menendez has been indicted on charges of bribery and money laundering. The scale of corporate capture and corruption is US politics is worse than most third world countries. Morally bankrupt criminals acting like they have any business meddling in the affairs of other sovereign nations. submitted by /u/KAX1107 |
