I think its pretty telling about the state of defi.
That a CEO of a defi project thinks that threatening to make people pay the taxes they should already be paying is some sort of leverage.
If I were running the IRS I'd be looking at Robert Leshner to make sure he's paying all the taxes he should be on his crypto given that he thinks that threatening to report trades to the IRS(that he already should be doing) will make people return their crypto gains:)
It's extra rich that this same person told congress that they couldn't possibly report to the IRS these trades as thry don't have the proper KYC docs for traders, but when those traders have "his" crypto all of a sudden he can find out who they are:)
- DennisP 5y agoI doubt he can actually find out who they are. It's just a nonsense tweet. Nobody who uses Compound sends them KYC information, it's all just addresses on the blockchain, which is public data that the IRS can read just as well as Compound can. (And unlike Compound, the IRS can subpoena centralized exchanges to trace who's behind the addresses.)
