aka A16Z—has bet billions on world fueled by crypto, saying it will disrupt industries dominated by entrenched middlemen and is good for everyone. But they need new rules for this ...

“Draft legislation A16Z is circulating would give the companies it has invested in a leg up by exempting related entities from certain tax reporting, consumer protection and anti-money-laundering requirements.” https://www.nytimes.com/...
