Email Chain: Cryptocurrency Taxation and Treasury Policy Discussion with Steve Bannon (File 030781)
Email correspondence between Jeffrey E. and Steve Bannon discussing cryptocurrency taxation issues, regulatory challenges, and potential Treasury Department involvement in crypto policy during February 2018.
Summary
This email chain from February 2018 discusses cryptocurrency taxation and regulation issues. Jeffrey E. raises concerns about capital gains taxes on cryptocurrency transactions, using a Bitcoin example (buying at $1,000, selling at $10,000 = $9,000 taxable gain). The conversation involves references to NSA involvement, Lisa Monaco (Obama administration counterterrorism official), and questions about whether the Treasury Department would engage on cryptocurrency regulation and disclosure requirements. The discussion suggests exploring alternative channels for policy advice if Treasury won't respond directly.
