Recently, Bloomberg reporters revealed through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request that since 2022, Gary Gensler, chairperson of the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), has received multiple threatening emails and voicemails from the United States and internationally. The threats include violent language, including one claiming to shoot and "cut him up," and another threatening email with the subject line "Die" from Australia. Some threats may even come from government employees. Although these threats are not explicitly related to Gensler's crypto regulatory policies, Gensler has long been mocked and criticized in the crypto community for his crackdown on the digital asset industry. Numerous crypto users have publicly expressed their dissatisfaction with him on social media. At the Bitcoin 2024 conference, Donald Trump promised to "fire Gensler as soon as he takes office", which won an enthusiastic response from the audience. At present, Gensler's term will last until 2026, but the outcome of the election could affect his survival.
