OFAC’s Dropped Sanctions Against Tornado Cash Can’t Come Up at Trial, Judge Says

A federal judge just slammed the door on discussing OFAC’s reversed sanctions against Tornado Cash in court. No do-overs, no mea culpas—just a hard stop.

Privacy tech wins? Not so fast. The ruling leaves crypto’s favorite mixer in legal limbo while regulators keep playing whack-a-mole with decentralized tools. Meanwhile, Wall Street still can’t decide if privacy is a 'feature' or a 'bug'—unless it’s their own offshore accounts, of course.

The takeaway? When it comes to crypto privacy, the rules are written in disappearing ink. And just like your average trader’s 'risk management strategy,' they change when someone’s losing money.
