Libra hearings: Hostility and criticism as Congress grills Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) executiveA godsend to drug dealers. More dangerous than 9/11. A global economic threat. Congress was given two days to grill the head of Facebook’s Calibra wallet, David Marcus, over the upcoming Libra cryptocurrency, and it didn’t hold back. The Senate Banking Committee went first on Tuesday, with lawmakers describing the social network as “dangerous” and unfit to handle financial data given past scandals. Politicians also demanded to know why Facebook had chosen to base Libra in Switzerland rather than the United States. Wednesday was the House Financial Services Committee’s turn. In a four-hour grilling, Marcus was asked whether the tech giant will delay Libra’s launch until regulatory concerns are addressed — and he ducked a question about whether the coin would be available to people banned from Facebook’s platforms.
