Ce este Poppin '?

by Juan Aranovici

Yesterday, six Tornado Cash users filed a proces against the Treasury Department over the sanctions on the platform.

In August, the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) consacrat crypto mixing service Tornado Cash for allegedly being used to launder billions of dollars’ worth of crypto – in particular, funds stolen by North Korean hackers. However, because sanctioning a set of smart contracts, rather than a person or organization, was an unprecedented move, there were some innocent Tornado Cash users affected by the sanctions as well.

Crypto exchange Coinbase will furniza financial support to cover the costs associated with pursuing the claims in the federal court and will also pay for the plaintiff’s lawyers.

“It [the sanctions] sets a dangerous precedent — if this code can be designated without any limits imposed by law, any technology any tool or system could be fair game,” Coinbase’s chief legal officer Paul Grewal a declarat CNBC.

Grewal had a spus earlier this week that Coinbase’s interpretation of the sanctions on Tornado Cash is that validators are not compelled to censor transactions.

Among the six plaintiffs are some Coinbase employees and Preston Van Loon, Ethereum core developer, who was on today’s show with Laura to talk about the Merge and his role in the lawsuit. He said, of his participation, “Code is speech and free speech is a constitutional right.”

The suit claims the plaintiffs have some ETH locked in the platform, which was used for legal reasons (like donating to Ukraine), but they can’t access it because of the sanctions.

De asemenea, Grewal revendicat that OFAC “exceeded the authority Congress and the President granted it in sanctioning open source technology (…) No one wants criminals to use software, but blocking the technology entirely (which is what this sanction does) is not what Congress authorized, and for good reason.”
