According to Decrypt, prosecutors cited a Bitcoin Fog ruling when addressing Roman Storm’s challenge to a venue-related enforcement action. The Tornado Cash founder previously responded in a tweet by noting that the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) withdrew a proposed cryptocurrency mixer rule due to concerns it might discourage legitimate use.
The comment refers to FinCEN’s decision to pull back on the rule amid worries about potential chilling effects on lawful activity involving privacy-focused tools. No further details on timing, scope, or legal status of the withdrawal were included in the source material. The ruling mentioned by prosecutors relates to Bitcoin Fog, though specifics about the ruling’s content or outcome are not elaborated in the provided facts.
