The US Justice Department is reportedly weaponizing fraud statutes to pursue companies over their diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, according to recent reporting. This development highlights an intensifying legal pressure on corporate governance practices. For the crypto and Web3 sector, this signals a broader enforcement trend worth monitoring—regulators are increasingly deploying existing legal frameworks creatively to challenge corporate policies. As the regulatory environment tightens globally, companies operating in blockchain, DeFi, and crypto exchanges should pay close attention to how US authorities interpret compliance obligations. The shift reflects deeper political battles around corporate governance, but the enforcement mechanics could have spillover effects on how tech and financial companies structure their operations and policies.

Ha, new tricks again. The Americans are starting to use old laws to crack down on new companies, and our crypto circle still has to take the hits.

Oh no, here we go again? The US Department of Justice is using fraud laws to target DEI, and the logic is really... Web3 circles need to be careful, regulators are now endlessly creative.

ngl this is getting wild... regulators basically just admitted they're gonna bend existing rules however they want. as i always tell my students, when authorities start "creatively interpreting" frameworks, that's your signal to audit everything yesterday. crypto companies better be documenting their governance decisions obsessively rn or they're sitting ducks.

Now it's good, the U.S. Department of Justice has started playing "creative enforcement," using DEI as an excuse to target companies... crypto circles better watch out.

It's the same old American way, swinging the legal hammer and hitting whoever they want.

It's the same old story. Using existing legal provisions to the extreme. From the supply and demand curve perspective, this heavy-handed policy will eventually backfire on itself.

Here we go again, the US is starting to play the legal shell game once more, this time targeting DEI. Basically, it's just a different excuse to continue the squeeze; regulators are playing around with the existing legal framework, and our crypto circle has long been used to this routine.

The US Department of Justice's move is really impressive. Using fraud statutes to target DEI—regulators' creativity is truly endless... For the crypto community, this is a signal; we need to be cautious.
