The DeFi Education Fund (DEF) and other crypto advocacy groups, including Coin Center and the Blockchain Association, have filed amicus briefs in support of Roman Storm and Roman Semenov, developers involved in the Tornado Cash case, US v. Storm. These filings argue against the government's theory of criminal liability for software developers, emphasizing the potential implications for the broader software development industry and defending First Amendment rights. The case has sparked significant discussion within the crypto community about the future of financial privacy, the rights of developers, and is seen as based on misunderstandings of both the facts and the law. Amanda Tums, DEF's Chief Legal Officer, has been leading the efforts, receiving praise for her role in defending software developers' rights.
The day @amandatums and @fund_defi submitted their brief in the Roman Storm Tornado Cash matter, Amanda and @jchervinsky joined Law of Code to unpack the case. Anyone interested in the future of financial privacy will benefit from their perspectives. https://t.co/qEunm6I3WZ

Having read the amicus briefs by @fund_defi, @coincenter, and @BlockchainAssn (links below), it seems like DoJ’s indictment of Roman Storm and Roman Semenov was based on misunderstandings of both the facts (how Tornado Cash works) and the law. ⤵️
