USA called for tighter anti-money laundering rules on cryptocurrencies

On July 14, 2017 the member of the US House of Representatives Dep. Dana Rohrabacher (Republican Party) called for implementing tighter anti money laundering rules for digital currencies:

"People with bitcoins living in despotic regimes throughout the world have the opportunity to protect their assets from abusive and corrupt governments. "

"I believe we should encourage digital currencies to implement full anti-money laundry and know-your-customer standards. These protection should empower both our law enforcement and national security professionals to keep terrorists' financing under control, to protect our freedom of using digital currencies...and keep America in the lead of this technological advance."
