美国财政部表示，对于批准龙卷风现金的诉讼，无需进行最终法院判决

美国财政部表示，在从制裁名单中删除加密货币混音器后，就无需在诉讼中对其批准龙卷现金的诉讼进行最终法院判决。

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.

美国财政部表示，在从制裁名单中删除加密货币混音器后，就无需在诉讼中对其批准龙卷风现金的诉讼进行最终判决。

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，财政部外国资产控制办公室（OFAC）在指控该协议后批准了龙卷风现金，这有助于洗衣服被朝鲜黑客黑客船员偷走了Lazarus集团，导致许多龙卷风现金用户对监管机构提起诉讼。

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.”

在法院裁定有利于龙卷风现金之后，美国财政部于3月21日从其制裁名单中删除了混合器，以及来自特别指定的国民（SDN）名单的几十个由龙卷风绑定的智能合同地址，并辩称“这件事是虚拟的。”

“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.

美国财政部说：“因为像所有联邦法院一样，该法院有持续的义务满足自己对案件具有第三条管辖权的管辖权，因此有必要介绍有关穆斯尼斯的介绍。”

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，在做出正式判决之前宣布案件的案件的希望不是正确的法律程序。

“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.

他说：“在勉强地将TC推荐后，他们声称他们对最终法院的判决有任何要求。但这不是法律，他们知道。”

“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.’”

“在自愿停止例外，仅当被告才能证明该做法不能``不能合理地期望复发）的案件决定结束挑战的做法。

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.

格雷瓦尔（Grewal）指出，2024年最高法院的裁决，该裁决发现，美国公民Yonas Fikre（被列入No fly列表）的法律申诉不是通过将他脱离名单而被认为是因为该禁令可以在以后再次恢复禁令。

“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.

格雷瓦尔说：“在这里，财政部也从SDN中删除了龙卷风现金实体，但没有保证它不会再次重新列入龙卷风现金。这还不够好，这还不够好，这将向地方法院明确地表明这一点。”

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.

以太坊核心开发商普雷斯顿·范·洛恩（Preston Van Loon）领导的六位龙卷风现金用户在Coinbase的支持下于2022年9月起诉国库，以撤销制裁，认为他们是非法的。

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

加密政策倡导集团硬币中心紧随其后，于2022年10月进行了类似的诉讼。

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，得克萨斯州联邦法院法官支持美国财政部，裁定龙卷风现金是一个可以指定的实体，可以根据OFAC法规指定。在上诉中，一个三名法官的小组于11月裁定，国库对加密货币混合器不变的智能合约的制裁是违法的。

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.

美国财政部有一个为期60天的窗口来挑战这一决定。但是，美国法院支持龙卷风现金，在1月21日推翻了制裁，并迫使政府机构在3月之前撤销制裁。

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，它的创始人仍面临法律冲突。美国指控罗马风暴和联合创始人罗马·塞曼诺夫（Roman Semenov）欺骗美国，并协助和教conding串谋违反了对朝鲜实施的制裁。

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最想要的名单。一笔200万美元的债券的风暴是免费的，预计将在4月面临审判。

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.

同时，龙卷风现金开发商Alexey Pertsev在荷兰法院暂停他的“审前拘留”后被释放，因为他准备上诉他的洗钱定罪。
