The Texas District Court has ruled that the sanctions imposed by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the US Department of the Treasury on the cryptocurrency mixing service Tornado Cash are illegal and permanently prohibit OFAC from imposing sanctions again. In 2022, OFAC sanctioned Tornado Cash. In December 2024, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that it had exceeded its authority. OFAC removed it from the sanctions list in March of this year, but the lifting method left the possibility of further sanctions, which raised doubts from the plaintiff. The judge believes that the case has not expired and that the OFAC sanctions are illegal. Tornado Cash developers Roman Storm and Roman Semenov still face charges from the US Department of Justice (DOJ), including money laundering and sanctions violations.
