Prosecutorial Overreach in the Digital
Age: When Innovation Becomes a Risk
Factor
By Bradford L. Geyer
In a just system, laws guide enforcement. But in today’s federal landscape—especially in the
realm of digital assets—we often see the opposite: enforcement actions shaping the law in
real time.
For builders, developers, and early adopters in crypto, this has created a dangerous
paradox:
Innovate early
Get targeted before the rules are written.
While some crypto enforcement is justified, many recent cases reflect troubling patterns:
● Retroactive criminalization of behavior once considered compliant
● Weaponization of guidance never passed by Congress
● Selective prosecution of individuals without institutional protection
These are not hypotheticals—they're happening in courtrooms today.
As a former DOJ prosecutor, I’ve seen what it looks like when discretion is used
responsibly. But I’ve also seen what happens when it's not.
One recent case highlights the risks we all face when enforcement runs ahead of law, and
prosecutors abandon neutrality for narrative.

This isn’t just about one defendant.
It’s about how fast innovation can become evidence.
And how easily the presumption of innocence can get lost in the digital fog.

I’ve been leading a multi-client project that includes a comprehensive analysis of cryptocurrency enforcement trends over the past decade. As part of this effort, we’ve identified consistent enforcement patterns and signature schemes that suggest where future regulatory and legal actions are likely to concentrate—largely independent of changes in administration. Enforcement agencies tend to pursue initiatives that are resilient to political shifts, avoiding strategies that risk being reversed with new leadership. We anticipate completing the first phase of this project within the next two weeks.

🚨 Dr. Anthony Fauci now faces criminal referrals from officials in seven U.S. states in connection with deaths and injuries allegedly linked to COVID-19 “vaccines” and a broader array of pandemic-related misconduct.

This week, legal organizations submitted formal criminal referral requests to the attorneys general of Arizona and Pennsylvania, intensifying the call for accountability.

The referrals were filed by the Vires Law and FormerFedsGroup Freedom Foundation 501c3 both of which are urging state prosecutors to launch criminal investigations into Dr. Fauci and other high-profile public health and government figures.

Fauci—who served as the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)—is accused of multiple criminal acts committed during and after the COVID-19 crisis, as scrutiny of federal pandemic leadership reaches new levels.

As I repeatedly warned the courts in the District of Columbia, stating that “we are all in a terrible risk management position,” those warnings went unheeded. Every case was deliberately confined to a single district with a 99% conviction rate, while motions to transfer venue—essential to ensuring due process—were systematically denied. Had venue been transferred, risk would have been distributed, conviction rates would have declined, and the legal process would have realigned with historical norms rather than becoming an anomaly of mass prosecution.

Meanwhile, the coordinated censorship effort that began on the evening of January 6 further shaped the narrative. Twitter purged 70,000 accounts, Facebook banned all January 6 content, and courts imposed a blanket protective order—ensuring that only the most selectively edited and damning video clips reached the public and false reports were trumpeted about police being killed. This manufactured vacuum of context affected everyone, but no group was more impacted than the residents of the District, who were deprived of critical perspectives that might have influenced their views and level of empathy.

Now, the trajectory is clear. And as the first law of thermodynamics reminds us: every action is followed by an equal and opposite reaction. Prepare accordingly. It’s going to be a very bumpy ride.
