The Tornado Cash trial has concluded. Roman Storm has been found guilty of the conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmission business charge. Here are my thoughts on the outcome, the government’s (rejected) motion to remand Storm, and what comes next.

This is so ridiculous. How does this affect lightening node operators?
Too early to tell. For now, I’d pay attention to whether or not the language from the BRCA re: developers and purveyors of non-controlling (noncustodial) not being money transmitters gets included in the CLARITY Act and if the act is enacted into law.

I think the bottom line with this though in general is that we need more nodes and more developers building on lightning to make it impossible to persecute regardless of the legal wrangling.

A reminder to wanna-be dev who wish to create a self-sovereignty freedom tool/app/software.Engage in forum ( without showing your face/identity of course ) telling people you created ' something powerful ' for the people with all the necessary details pertaining to the project then disappear.
