Gary Gensler: No Treat, Just Trick

Gary Gensler's Tweet:

If Satoshi Nakamoto dressed up as Satoshi Nakamoto for Halloween, would we be able to tell? Happy 15th anniversary to Satoshi Nakamoto for releasing the famous whitepaper that pioneered the field of cryptocurrency.

Gary Gensler creatively used the Halloween phrase "Trick or Treat" in a sentence:

For any crypto companies tricking investors, we should start treating them with securities laws.

SEC has initiated a series of cryptocurrency enforcement actions this year, rejecting the eagerly awaited Bitcoin ETF, which caused a flood of responses from the crypto community on Twitter, turning the comments section into a meme gallery.

If Satoshi Nakamoto went as Satoshi Nakamoto for Halloween, would we be able to tell?

Happy 15th anniversary to Satoshi’s famous white paper that started crypto.

Any crypto companies that are tricking investors should start treating them to compliance with the securities laws.
