Crypto lawyer Irina Heaver on death threats, lawsuit predictions: Hall of Flame
Irina Heaver moved to crypto after she could no longer “sit in the boardroom listening to that corporate bullshit.“
I live in Switzerland. I have guns at home. Anybody who shows up at my home with violent intentions risks being literally shot at, Heaver warns altcoiners who send her death threats online.
Speaking to Magazine, Heaver explains that she blames memecoin founders for fueling the fiery users on Crypto Twitter.
I mean, theres so much responsibility on these community leaders and altcoin leaders. Theyre egging on their followers to send threats and intimidate people, Heaver declares.
I made a conscious decision to post once a day, Heaver says, despite not expecting to rack up any followers.
She explains that while she takes her crypto work with governments in the Middle East and Eastern Europe very seriously, Twitter is just a bit of fun for her.
She figures thats probably why online threats aimed at her make the senders so furious she just couldnt give a damn.
What type of content do you do?
Heaver believes the crypto community gets way more pumped up for fun and easygoing content than all the heavy-duty stuff.
Every time I post something very meaningful and very intelligent about the laws and very meaningful analysis, I get two likes. I get a lot more posting fun content and just making jokes and actually being myself.
Heaver says her content is pretty chill, and she likes to give insights into her interesting life, whether shooting a rifle or hiking in Switzerland.
But every so often, she will let you know about the latest person or government she has orange-pilled.
What type of content do you like?
Heaver reveals that her Twitter feed is a blend of Bitcoin-only accounts and various political commentators.
She explains that she finds political commentary more interesting than tracking crypto prices. She asserts that in the grand scheme of things, broader political decisions hold greater significance than coins pumping 1,000x.
I follow a lot of political commentary. That actually interests me more than which coin is doing what, because it doesnt matter which coin does what on the biggest scale of things. What matters is the political direction.
She particularly enjoys content from Swan Bitcoins Cory Klippsten, Bitcoin Archive and the Elon Musk (Parody) account.
Heavers predictions for major exchanges
As for the ongoing lawsuits against Binance and Coinbase brought forth by the SEC, Heaver anticipates both will settle without acknowledging any sort of wrongdoing on their part, and the SEC will leave them alone.
Heaver reveals this stems from her inside knowledge of how the SEC operates, gained during her time in the oil and gas industry.
She recalls a specific Swiss company she worked with, engaged in business in the Middle East, that drew the attention of U.S. regulators.
Heaver explains that the SEC and DOJ decided that they have jurisdiction over this company and basically chased them for seven years.
The outcome was a $250 million settlement and the company denying any fault. Heaver emphasizes that it was a pretty sweet payday for regulators:
Thats how they get their budgets. Thats how they get the money to pay the salaries and God knows what on the Christmas bonuses.
