Several organizations, including DEF, Coin Center, and others, have filed amicus briefs in support of Roman Storm in the US v. Storm case. The briefs aim to defend software developers against criminal liability and uphold First Amendment rights. The case has implications for the future of the industry.
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
Still itching to learn more about this case and DEF's amicus? Lucky for you, @JacobRobinsonJD chats w/ the authors (@amandatums & @jchervinsky) about our brief and the implications of the case on the latest episode of Law of Code 👇 https://t.co/aDKsIcuXub https://t.co/hvqv7tIA5M
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. ⤵️
