Coinbase funding suit challenging Treasury’s Tornado Cash sanctions
On September 8, 2022, Coinbase said it is funding a lawsuit brought by six people challenging the U.S. Treasury Department’s sanctions on the Tornado Cash smart contracts and is asking the court to remove them from the U.S. sanctions list. “The sanctions exceed Treasury’s authority, harm innocent people, remove privacy and security options for crypto users, and stifle innovation,” Coinbase wrote in a blog post. Tornado Cash is an open source piece of software running on the Ethereum blockchain that “preserves privacy by allowing users to deposit assets from one crypto address and withdraw them using a different crypto address,” the company said. “We have no issue with the Treasury sanctioning bad actors, and we take a hard stance against unlawful behavior. But in this case, Treasury went much further and took the unprecedented step of sanctioning an entire technology instead of specific individuals,” it added.
