Judge Denies Plaintiffs' Motion for Partial Summary Judgment in Tornado Cash Lawsuit

Odaily Planet Daily News In the lawsuit supported by Coinbase on Tornado Cash sanctions, District Judge Robert Pitman stated in a document that he dismissed the plaintiffs Joseph Van Loon, Tyler Almeida, Alexander Fisher, Preston Van Loon, Kevin Vitale and Nate Welch motion for partial summary judgment. They argue that the judgment transcends statutory powers because Tornado Cash is not an individual but an agreement, a view Pitman disputes: "Tornado Cash has founders, developers and a DAO to govern the platform". The court held that Tornado Cash was an association in the ordinary sense and therefore an entity that could be designated under OFAC regulations. (The Block)
