I wonder why Andreessen needs to use disinformation to shape opinion if the actual problem is so bad? I find it very unlikely that he does not know how PEP actually works.

It is so demonstrably false. Anyone who has worked in an finance adjacent industry likely knows the definition of a PEP.

Seems to me that he has crypto-related goals but involves more people to gain political support. The OP article's last paragraphs make it quite clear IMO.
