Tornado Cash is safe from US sanctions, says court

Crypto mixer Tornado Cash can no longer be relisted on the US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions list following a Texas court ruling on Monday.  The Treasury added Tornado Cash to the list in 2022 and claimed it helped launder $7 billion worth of funds from the likes of North Korea’s Lazarus group. Then, after years of court proceedings, it was removed from the list last month.  It was then argued by the Treasury that the case was “moot” and didn’t require further ruling, opening up the possibility of Tornado Cash being relisted.  However, yesterday the US District Court for the Western District of Texas rejected the Treasury’s argument, and said that it may have sought to “ ‘reenact precisely the same [designation]’ in the future.” After the 5th Cir. ruled against the government in November, it repeatedly tried to avoid entry of a final judgment in the Tornado Cash case.

$5 Mining Reward is Now $5 Million from Satoshi-Era Wallet

Image
A Bitcoin wallet that had lain dormant since 2010 has suddenly sprung to life, moving its entire holding of 50 BTC for the first time in 15 years. The long-idle stash was mined when Bitcoin traded for mere cents, but its latest transfer represents nearly $5 million in value at today’s prices. The unexpected awakening of this early “whale” wallet marks one of the rare cases of Satoshi-era coins returning to activity in recent years. 15-Year Dormancy Ends with Multi-Million Transfer Blockchain records show the ancient address (starting with 04ba30) received a 50 BTC mining reward back in July 2010, when Bitcoin’s price was under $0.10. For a decade and a half, those coins remained untouched. That changed this week when the holder finally initiated the wallet’s first-ever outgoing transaction, moving all 50 BTC simultaneously.
