The U.S. Department of the Treasury acknowledged that there were issues with the previous regulations related to mixers, and Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm stated that the Department of Justice is still pushing for his conviction

Roman Storm posted on platform X, stating that the U.S. Department of the Treasury recently acknowledged in a document that there are issues with the previous rules regarding mixers, mentioning that this policy may have a "chilling effect" on legitimate activities. Storm indicated that although the relevant department of the U.S. Treasury now believes there are problems with the policy, the U.S. Department of Justice still insists in its case that even legitimate transactions conducted through Tornado Cash constitute illegal activities due to their potential use for money laundering, evading sanctions, and other criminal purposes.

Storm stated that the non-criminal department of the U.S. government considers the policy inappropriate, while the criminal justice department believes that all related transactions are criminal; he has been detained and prosecuted for over 1,139 days, claiming that his case stems from developing open-source code. Storm also mentioned that the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) submitted a new document today, and the U.S. Department of Justice is still pushing for his conviction.
