A group of US Democratic lawmakers, led by Senator Elizabeth Warren, has strongly criticized the Department of Justice (DOJ) for shutting down its National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team (NCET). The NCET, disbanded on April 7, was formed to target criminal activity in the digital asset sector, including high-profile crackdowns against Tornado Cash and cybercriminals tied to North Korea. In an April 10 letter, the group expressed concern that the move undermines efforts to combat growing criminal activity tied to digital assets. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that the decision allows the DOJ to redirect its focus toward individual offenders.
