“After reluctant to remove TCs, they now claim that they have replaced any need for a court judgment. But this is not a law and they know about it,” he said.

“In accordance with the exception of the voluntary cessation, the defendant’s decision to terminate the questioned practice discusses the case only if the defendant may show that practice cannot” expect “.

Grewal pointed to the decision of the Supreme Court in 2024, which found a legal complaint of Yonas Fikre, a US citizen who was placed on the No Fly list, is not debatable, removing it from the list, because the ban could be restored again at a later date.

“Here the State Treasury was also removed by Tornado cash entities from the SDN, but he did not assure that the Tornado Cash list would not be again good enough.

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