The Arkansas Cryptomining Association is pursuing two Arkansas state officials, who are focusing that they have implemented an unconstitutional and discriminatory state management that prohibits foreign-born citizens from participating in crypto-mining crypto-mining activities, among other things.
The complaint was made against the Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin and director of the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission, Lawrence Bengal, on March 13 in the district district of the Arkansas district district.
It follows a federal court decision in November to temporarily hinder Arkansas from avoiding a naturalized The citizen of the United States of Chinese origin From running a crypto mining business.
Arkansas State rules concerned are “Rule K” and “Act 174,” which prohibits foreign-party-party-controlled businesses in the state.
Director Connor L. Kempton of the Arkansas Cryptomining Association said that the ambiguity of Rule K and Act 174 gives the defendants unreasonable and Discriminatory Implementation Powers, enabling them to give or reject permits at their own decisions.
He said the application of Rule K and Act 174 was not a constitutional and could be discrimination based on race, alienage and national origin, among other things.

Kempton noted that these policies were implemented against Crypto mining firm Jones Eagle LLC, managed by Qimin “Jimmy” Chen, a naturalized The US people of Chinese origin.
Kempton specifically taught the equal clause of protection of the 14th US Constitution amendment in dispute with the illegal Rule K and Law 174.

Equal protection clause similarly prohibits the US state to deny any person of equal protection of laws based on human race, united or national origin.
The Crypto Mining Executive also argued that the Rule K and Act 174 will set up American citizens such as Chen’s due process of rights under the 14th -amendment.
Kempton also said that the restrictions and penalties imposed under law 174 violate the authority of the federal government to investigate, review and act on foreign investments.
“Law 174 aims to promote its own foreign policy of Arkansas, and thus combines the exclusive power of the federal government management in foreign affairs.”
District District Judge Kristine G. Baker Says On December 9 that Arkansas state officials were prohibited from law enforcement 174 against Jones Eagle to further notice.
