美國財政部表示，對於批准龍捲風現金的訴訟，無需進行最終法院判決

美國財政部表示，在從制裁名單中刪除加密貨幣混音器後，就無需在訴訟中對其批准龍捲現金的訴訟進行最終法院判決。

The U.S. Treasury Department says there’s no need for a final court judgment in a lawsuit over its sanctioning of Tornado Cash after dropping the crypto mixer from the sanctions list.

美國財政部表示，在從制裁名單中刪除加密貨幣混音器後，就無需在訴訟中對其批准龍捲風現金的訴訟進行最終判決。

In August 2022, Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned Tornado Cash after alleging the protocol helped launder crypto stolen by North Korean hacking crew the Lazarus Group, leading to a number of Tornado Cash users filing a lawsuit against the regulator.

2022年8月，財政部外國資產控制辦公室（OFAC）在指控該協議後批准了龍捲風現金，這有助於洗衣服被朝鮮黑客黑客船員偷走了Lazarus集團，導致許多龍捲風現金用戶對監管機構提起訴訟。

After a court ruling in favor of Tornado Cash, the U.S. Treasury dropped the mixer from its sanctions list on March 21, along with several dozen Tornado-affiliated smart contract addresses from the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list, and has now argued “this matter is now moot.”

在法院裁定有利於龍捲風現金之後，美國財政部於3月21日從其製裁名單中撤出了混合器，以及幾十個由特別指定的國民（SDN）名單中的數十個與龍捲風相關的智能合同地址，現在辯稱“這件事是虛擬的。”

“Because this court, like all federal courts, has a continuing obligation to satisfy itself that it possesses Article III jurisdiction over the case, briefing on mootness is warranted,” the U.S. Treasury said.

美國財政部說：“因為像所有聯邦法院一樣，該法院有持續的義務滿足自己對案件具有第三條管轄權的管轄權，因此有必要介紹有關穆斯尼斯的介紹。”

However, Coinbase (NASDAQ:) chief legal officer Paul Grewal said that Treasury’s hope to have the case declared moot before an official judgment can be made isn't the correct legal process.

但是，Coinbase（NASDAQ :)首席法律官Paul Grewal表示，在做出正式判決之前宣布案件的案件的希望不是正確的法律程序。

“After grudgingly delisting TC, they now claim they’ve mooted any need for a final court judgment. But that’s not the law, and they know it,” he said.

他說：“在勉強地將TC推薦後，他們聲稱他們對最終法院的判決有任何要求。但這不是法律，他們知道。”

“Under the voluntary cessation exception, a defendant’s decision to end a challenged practice moots a case only if the defendant can show that the practice cannot ‘reasonably be expected to recur.’”

“在自願停止例外，僅當被告才能證明該做法不能``不能合理地期望復發）的案件決定結束挑戰的做法。

Grewal pointed to a 2024 Supreme Court ruling that found a legal complaint from Yonas Fikre, a U.S. citizen who was put on the No Fly List, is not moot by taking him off the list because the ban could be reinstated again at a later date.

格雷瓦爾（Grewal）指出，2024年最高法院的裁決，該裁決發現，美國公民Yonas Fikre（被列入No fly列表）的法律申訴不是通過將他脫離名單而被認為是因為該禁令可以在以後再次恢復禁令。

“Here, Treasury has likewise removed the Tornado Cash entities from the SDN, but has provided no assurance that it will not re-list Tornado Cash again. That’s not good enough, and will make this clear to the district court,” Grewal said.

格雷瓦爾說：“在這裡，財政部也從SDN中刪除了龍捲風現金實體，但沒有保證它不會再次重新列入龍捲風現金。這還不夠好，這還不夠好，這將向地方法院明確地表明這一點。”

Six Tornado Cash users led by Ethereum core developer Preston Van Loon, with the support of Coinbase, sued the Treasury in September 2022 to reverse the sanctions under the argument that they were unlawful.

以太坊核心開發商普雷斯頓·範·洛恩（Preston Van Loon）領導的六位龍捲風現金用戶在Coinbase的支持下於2022年9月起訴國庫，以撤銷制裁，認為他們是非法的。

Crypto policy advocacy group Coin Center followed through with a similar suit in October 2022.

加密政策倡導集團硬幣中心緊隨其後，於2022年10月進行了類似的訴訟。

In August 2023, a Texas federal court judge sided with the U.S. Treasury, ruling that Tornado Cash was an entity that may be designated per OFAC regulations. On appeal, a three-judge panel ruled in November that Treasury’s sanctions against the crypto mixer’s immutable smart contracts were unlawful.

2023年8月，得克薩斯州聯邦法院法官支持美國財政部，裁定龍捲風現金是一個可以指定的實體，可以根據OFAC法規指定。在上訴中，一個三名法官的小組於11月裁定，國庫對加密貨幣混合器不變的智能合約的製裁是違法的。

The U.S. Treasury had a 60-day window to challenge the decision, which it did; however, the U.S. court sided with Tornado Cash, overturning the sanctions on Jan. 21 and forcing the government agency to remove the sanctions by March.

美國財政部有一個為期60天的窗口來挑戰這一決定。但是，美國法院支持龍捲風現金，在1月21日推翻了製裁，並迫使政府機構在3月之前撤銷制裁。

Its founders are still facing legal strife, however. The U.S. charged Roman Storm and fellow co-founder Roman Semenov with defrauding the United States and aiding and abetting a conspiracy to violate the sanctions imposed on North Korea.

但是，它的創始人仍面臨法律衝突。美國指控羅馬風暴和聯合創始人羅馬·塞曼諾夫（Roman Semenov）欺騙美國，並協助和教conding串謀違反了對朝鮮實施的製裁。

Semenov is still at large and on the FBI’s most wanted list. Storm is free on a $2 million bond and expected to face trial in April.

Semenov仍然是FBI最想要的名單。一筆200萬美元的債券的風暴是免費的，預計將在4月面臨審判。

Meanwhile, Tornado Cash developer Alexey Pertsev was released from prison after a Dutch court suspended his “pretrial detention” as he prepared to appeal his money laundering conviction.

同時，龍捲風現金開發商Alexey Pertsev在荷蘭法院暫停他的“審前拘留”後被釋放，因為他準備上訴他的洗錢定罪。
