Wed Sep 18 01:57:15 UTC 2024: ## FBI Agents Visit Home of Crypto Advocate, Allegedly Over Free Speech
Jeremy Kauffman, a prominent cryptocurrency advocate, has claimed that two FBI agents visited his home on September 16th, 2024. Kauffman alleges the visit was due to his free speech activities, which he claims were not illegal. He posted a video of the encounter on Twitter, showing the agents’ faces obscured, and a brief exchange where he refuses their request to stop recording.
Kauffman has not disclosed the specific nature of the agents’ inquiry, but claims the visit was a manifestation of a “Democratic regime” targeting free speech. He criticized the agents’ appearance, stating that their clothing was “cheap-looking”. The video, which includes some expletives and hand gestures, has gone viral and sparked online discussions about the extent of government oversight and perceived threats to free speech.
The FBI has not yet publicly commented on the incident.
