  "deta": "Blockchain Association Sues OFAC Over Sanctions on Tornado Cash\n\n\nSource: US Department of Treasury\nBlockchain Association, the crypto advocacy group, has filed an amicus brief with the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).\n\nThe Association has criticized the agency’s decision to sanction crypto mixer Tornado Cash, pointing out the regulatory repercussions.\n\nPer the brief filed on Monday, the Association argued that OFAC’s actions toward the privacy-protecting software Tornado Cash are “unlawful.”\n\n",
  "deta2": "Blockchain Association Defends Second Time\n\nIn the April brief, the Blockchain Association defended Tornado Cash describing it as simply a tool. The platform is a self-executing computer software protocol embedded in the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain.\n\nFurther, the software has no owner or operator, and is entirely decentralized unlike OFAC’s claims, it added. However, if OFAC succeeds in the sanctions, it would weaken the digital asset industry.\n\nBlockchain Association Senior Counsel Marisa Coppel notes that the actions by OFAC are “dangerous,” exceeding their authority. The sanctions also jeopardize American’s right to privacy, she added."
