On August 8, the US government sanctionedthe Tornado Cashcryptocurrency mixer for money laundering. The sanction means that no US citizen orcompany can interact with Tornado Cash in any way, all assets of theorganization are to be reported so that they can be seized, and more. Butat the core of Tornado Cash is a chunk of open-source code for "smart contracts"that run in the Ethereum blockchain; thatcode was "seized" as well. There are some disturbing implications here for our communities.
