Crypto advocacy groups Blockchain Association and DeFi Education Fund filed a brief in United States District Court in Austin in the case brought by six individuals against the United States Treasury Department over the sanctioning of Tornado Cash. The amicus (friend of the court) brief supports the plaintiff’s motion for a partial summary judgment.
The six plaintiffs in the case filed suit against the Treasury Department and associated parties in September after the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) placed addresses allegedly connected with the Tornado Cash cryptocurrency mixer on its Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List in August.
