Howard A. Fischer was quoted in Bloomberg's article "Crypto Skeptic Gary Gensler Becomes Reluctant Backer of Bitcoin ETFs." 

"There should be no doubts that the majority of the commission remains hostile to digital assets and that Gensler views Bitcoin as a speculative, volatile asset often used for illegal activities," said Howard Fischer, a partner at Moses Singer who previously worked as a senior trial attorney at the SEC.

“By stressing that the commission’s hands were essentially tied, I think he is in effect washing his hands if there is any collapse on the price” of Bitcoin, Fischer said.
