They removed all TBD for the release today, not just the Whirlpool TBD. Def questions regarding legal risks with both the TC and SW trials, but bullish nontheless

What's interesting is that the majority of their proposal (access to IP addresses, device IDs, data retention) is completely illegal under EU GDPR 🥰

Imagine you had to verify your social media profiles in order to get a bank account. This is what the world's biggest banks are proposing in order to combat the complete ineffectiveness of their own AML programs as found in a statement by the AML/CFT consortium Wolfsberg Group.

The Tornado Cash trial against Roman Storm is not a trial against one person. It is a trial against us all.

Is the right to financial privacy protected by the US Constitution? And will code remain classified as free speech? Will we turn the law on its head by arguing that those seeking to keep their private life private must be guilty until proven innocent, and that any person aiding in such undertaking is deemed guilty of conspiracy to commit a crime, because criminals want privacy too?

Who is criminally liable for the anonymizing of funds taking place via Tornado Cash today? Does money equal speech?

The questions posed by the Tornado Cash trial are as broad as they are significant and will define how the US Constitution is applied to the digital age.

The reinterpretation of common sense began when we started to assume that common sense is not a sense which constitutes a shared world around us but a capability which we have that anyone is able to act on. This capability is the capability of logic, the fact that we may say in unity: two plus two equals four. But this capability, even if we all possess it, is completely incapable of guiding us through the world or capture anything at all. It merely underlines the most outer subjectivity, even if we may assume (unjustly, of course), that all subjects are the same.

By this line of thinking we must arrive at the idea of the 'normal person' – the normal people who are all the same, because the world which they could share is missing. And because this is impossible you'll end up in a situation in which everyone who is 'not normal' needs a psychoanalyst or a god who knows what they need so that they can become like the others, meaning like somebody who is nobody in the literal sense of the word.

Completely separate case unfortunately. Sterlingov is accused of having operated a custodial mixer, which has always fallen under KYC/AML/CFT law.
