Just to clarify, the entity that made this ruling is the U.S. Sentencing
Commission, not the Department of Justice.  The Department of Justice
supported the proposed amendment, which I testified against before the
Sentencing Commission.

The Commission (and the Department of Justice) also emphasized that the
proposed amendment wouldn't have made using a proxy illegal.  But it
would have recommended punishing people more harshly when they used a
proxy while committing a crime.  You can read the testimony and
questions about this at

We were Panel One.  There's a lot of material there.
