That's an easy one. To create a smokescreen around the fact that he is a well-known scammer among the crypto community. Lawmakers and politicians have no time to perform any kind of background check on him, nor do they care. They just see this unshaven hobbit bearing a big smile approaching them and probably feel bad for him, thinking, well this guy's a voter and he has a good attitude, so we should try to make him feel special.

I feel its all kind of a moot point by now, anyway. Any slim remaining chance Altmarket or TAO may have had at one point is now gone with the wind. We are in a new bear market and nobody has time for this extremely fringe, small-time stuff anymore. However, the best thing that can be done is preventing him from starting anew, trying to collect more money for yet another scammy venture that will inevitably end in failure, just like all of his others.
