The petition followed after the expert conclusions of the lobbyists were rejected by the federal court. Lobibists say that the Samourai Wallet service only helped people make financial transactions online without violating the laws of the United States. The cryptomixer did not engage in illegal transfer of funds, said in a petition.
In April 2024, the US prosecutor’s office liquidated a crypto -cosel, arresting the general director of Samourai Wallet Keoon Rodriguez and Technical Director of William Lonergan Hill. The Ministry of Justice stated that the crypto -co -coat acted as an unlicensed business transfer business, which was mainly used by criminals. In July, Hill was released on bail of $ 3 million.
Experts of Defi Education Fund and Blockchain Association claim that the wallet developers only wrote the software used by other people to transfer funds. The developers did not deal with the money of users. The authorities incorrectly interpret the laws on the transfer of money, applying it to non -codial software tools, insist cryptolobbists.
“Confidentiality is normal. It is quite natural for people to make financial transactions in the blockchain, maintaining anonymity – in ordinary life, people do it every day, ”said Amanda Tuminelli, chief legal adviser and executive director of Defi Education Fund.
Recently, Defi Education Fund, together with other human rights organizations, demanded that American lawmakers take measures to protect software developers. The developers of non -codial crypto platforms should not be considered cash transfers, and this should be indicated in the legislation, said Defi Education Fund.
