ChainCatcher message, Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal posted on X: "Just a few days before the Fifth Circuit Court ruled that the OFAC sanctions on the code were illegal, some in Congress raised a series of questions about how the code was being used despite the sanctions. Now they will ask a very obvious question in return: How many Americans can legally use Tornado Cash, yet have their privacy rights stripped away due to their own government's violations of the law?"

Previously, it was reported that the Fifth Circuit Court ruled the Treasury's sanctions against Tornado Cash smart contracts were illegal.
