Judge Rebuffs DOJ in Tornado Cash Case—Crypto Privacy Battle Escalates
A federal judge just handed the Department of Justice an L in its high-profile case against a Tornado Cash developer—refusing to order a review of the charges. The ruling throws gasoline on the fiery debate over crypto privacy tools and regulatory overreach.
Privacy vs. surveillance: The feds claim tools like Tornado Cash enable money laundering, while devs argue they’re just building code. Guess who’s winning? (Hint: not the guys with handcuffs.)
Meanwhile, Wall Street still can’t decide if crypto is a threat or an asset class—but they’ll charge you 2% to manage either.
