According to Cointelegraph: Crypto advocacy group Coin Center has expressed concerns over the recent indictment of former Tornado Cash developers Roman Storm and Romen Semenov by the United States Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) for allegedly operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business. Coin Center research director Peter Van Valkenburgh argues that the indictment appears to contradict guidance from the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), which states that Tornado Cash only provides software for money transmission, not the actual transmission of money. Valkenburgh also disputes claims in the indictment that Storm and Semenov had complete control over the protocol's smart contracts. Coin Center first opposed the U.S. Treasury in October when it sued the agency for its unprecedented and unlawful sanctioning of Tornado Cash. The outcome of the Tornado Cash case could have significant implications for the legal rights of U.S. citizens to develop and publish software in the future.
