🚨NEW IN TORNADO CASH: DATES SET FOR STORM RETRIAL The Court has approved the Government's pretrial schedule, confirming that SDNY will be retrying Roman Storm on charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering and conspiracy to commit sanctions evasion this fall. The Court is yet to rule on Storm's post-trial Rule 29 motion, which challenges the validity of evidence and theories presented against him, and could exonerate Storm of the unlicensed money transmission conviction handed down last August. A ruling favorable to Storm in post-trial motions could continue to prevent the retrial from taking place.

🚨NEW: MINED IN AMERICA ACT WOULD PUT BITCOIN NETWORK AT RISK The Mined in America Act would distort the overall economic incentives of the Bitcoin network and capture U.S. based miners in a situation where dependence on associated loan or grant programs makes it economically non-viable for them to deny government demands. Effectively, the bill would turn miners into their own surveillance teams, collecting and reporting information to the government in exchange for economic favoritism. 🔗 Full story:

🚨NEW: STERLINGOV'S APPEAL: THE CRIMINALIZATION OF PRIVACY The Department of Justice has repeatedly opined that cryptocurrency mixers are legal. That may be true in theory, but doesn't translate into practice, the appellate court in Washington DC appeared to argue today. "Every payment in[to Bitcoin Fog] is part of advancing the conspiracy because it increases the size of the pool of bitcoin funds that are shuffling around and obscuring identities," a judge opined at today's hearing.

At the appeal hearing for Roman Sterlingov, who was convicted of operating the bitcoin mixer Bitcoin Fog, circuit judges are repeating the same argumentation brought by SDNY against Roman Storm: "Every payment [to Bitcoin Fog] is part of advancing the conspiracy because it increases the size of the pool of bitcoin funds that are shuffling around and obscuring identities.“ The defense argues that mixers are legal, to which the judge counters: yes, but not Bitcoin Fog. More updates soon.

🚨NEW: THE PEOPLE AND THE MACHINE Last year, Roman Sterlingov was sentenced to 12.5 years in prison for allegedly operating the early bitcoin mixer Bitcoin Fog. For the first time, he now speaks out on the abuse he has experienced in the US Justice system, and what it means to lose your privacy – both for those incarcerated, and for everyone else in society.

🇺🇲🇵🇸 US WEAPONIZES GLOBAL FINANCIAL SYSTEM AGAINST PALESTINIAN ADVOCACY, POLICY GROUP SAYS The Palestinian Policy Network Al-Shabaka has laid out how the United States leverages the global financial system against Palestinian advocacy in its latest policy paper. Citing an Executive Order enacted last year that allows the US Treasury to act against anyone "assisting" the International Criminal Court, Al-Shabaka argues that overcompliance in the financial services industry has led to blocking of assets and financial transactions, debanking, as well as total funding bans for even tangentially related groups. "Most international transactions clear through US-linked banks and financial institutions," Al-Shabaka writes, allowing for sanctions issued by the US to reverberate far beyond US borders. "Washington’s dominance over the global financial system gives this censorship regime its devastating reach."
