On May 16 letter From Storm lawyers to the judge Katherine Polk Failla, FinCen documents show that non -supportive cryptocurrency mixers are not subject to a legal definition of “money transfer activities” and that prosecutors have known this since at least 2023.
Despite the knowledge of Finnce’s tips on cryptographic mixers, prosecutors continued to continue cases against the programmers of the Samourai and Tornado Cash portfolio, the lawyers say.
American prosecutors denied that they stopped the evidence, claiming that they had submitted financial communication at a certain time to present documents for defense and court during legal detection.
Defense of Storm cited the same legal documents and the same argument that Samourai Wallet Dellets lawyers set to court in the law of May 5 letter. Storm lawyers wrote:
“The disclosure of Samourai reveals that the government at least played quickly and loosely, and and the worst case confirmed this court with the arguments regarding FINCEN guidelines, responding to applications for release and forcing discovery.”
