美国龙卷风现金案引发隐私和技术误解担忧

DeFi 教育基金的 Amanda Tuminelli 表示，美国当局针对 Tornado Cash 和开发商 Roman Storm 的论点表现出“对隐私的蔑视”，并包含“令人愤慨的主张”。美国司法部对 Storm 驳回动议的回应被指控技术不准确、无视新兴技术以及对法律的误解。 Tuminelli 强调司法部对智能合约协议的误解以及对支持 Storm 被解雇的法庭之友陈述的无视，他认为 IEEPA 不应该被用来惩罚没有直接与受制裁实体打交道的软件开发商。

United States' Arguments in Tornado Cash Case Raise Concerns Over Privacy and Technology Misunderstandings

美国在龙卷风现金案中的论点引发了对隐私和技术误解的担忧

The United States Department of Justice's (DOJ) response to Roman Storm's motion to dismiss conspiracy and money laundering charges in the Tornado Cash case has been met with criticism from legal experts, who argue that the government's arguments display a "disdain for privacy" and include several "egregious statements."

美国司法部 (DOJ) 对罗曼·斯托姆 (Roman Storm) 驳回“龙卷风现金”案中串谋和洗钱指控的动议的回应遭到了法律专家的批评，他们认为政府的论点表现出“对隐私的蔑视”，包括一些“令人震惊的言论”。

Amanda Tuminelli, legal chief of the DeFi Education Fund, has expressed strong objections to the DOJ's filings, accusing prosecutors of making "technical inaccuracies," demonstrating "obvious disdain for privacy and emerging technology," and "misapplying the law."

DeFi 教育基金法律负责人阿曼达·图米内利 (Amanda Tuminelli) 对司法部的文件表示强烈反对，指责检察官犯下“技术错误”，表现出“对隐私和新兴技术的明显蔑视”以及“误用法律”。

One specific section of the DOJ's response has drawn particular attention. The government claims that Storm argued that "misconduct through computer software is absolutely protected" and that cryptocurrencies are "inherently beyond the reach of law enforcement." Tuminelli refutes this assertion, stating that Storm did not make such arguments in his motion and that the DOJ's representation is "intentionally misleading."

美国司法部回应中的一个具体部分引起了特别关注。政府声称，Storm 辩称“通过计算机软件进行的不当行为绝对受到保护”，并且加密货币“本质上超出了执法部门的管辖范围”。图米内利反驳了这一说法，称斯托姆在其动议中并未提出此类论点，并且司法部的陈述“故意误导”。

Tuminelli also criticizes the prosecutors for failing to understand the functioning of immutable smart contract protocols. The DOJ's filing alleges that Storm and co-founder Roman Semenov "could have done something about" the alleged unlawful activity on Tornado Cash but chose not to. According to Tuminelli, this claim demonstrates a lack of understanding of how these protocols operate.

图米内利还批评检察官未能理解不可变智能合约协议的功能。美国司法部的文件称，Storm 和联合创始人 Roman Semenov“本可以对 Tornado Cash 上涉嫌的非法活动采取行动”，但选择不这样做。根据图米内利的说法，这种说法表明人们对这些协议的运作方式缺乏了解。

The DOJ has also been criticized for "completely ignoring" the arguments presented in the amicus brief filed by the DeFi Education Fund in support of dismissing Storm's charges. The brief argues that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), which gives the president authority to respond to "unusual and extraordinary" threats, should not be used to penalize software developers who have not directly engaged with or solicited conduct from sanctioned entities.

美国司法部还因“完全无视”DeFi 教育基金提交的支持驳回 Storm 指控的法庭之友陈述中提出的论点而受到批评。该简报认为，《国际紧急经济权力法》（IEEPA）赋予总统应对“不寻常和非凡”威胁的权力，不应该用来惩罚那些没有直接参与或征求受制裁实体行为的软件开发商。

Observers have pointed out that a particular section of the DOJ's response could have far-reaching implications for cryptocurrencies and internet freedom. The government argues that the definition of money transmitting under U.S. law does not require the transmitter to have "control" of the funds being transferred and extends to "transferring funds on behalf of the public by any and all means."

观察人士指出，司法部回应的特定部分可能会对加密货币和互联网自由产生深远影响。政府辩称，美国法律对资金转移的定义并不要求转移者“控制”所转移的资金，而是延伸到“以任何方式代表公众转移资金”。

Industry commentator L0la L33tz warns that the DOJ's broad interpretation could set "dangerous precedents" for internet freedom. They argue that any provider broadcasting financial transactions, including internet service providers, could be forced to implement know-your-customer (KYC) procedures.

行业评论员 L0la L33tz 警告称，司法部的宽泛解释可能会为互联网自由树立“危险的先例”。他们认为，任何广播金融交易的提供商，包括互联网服务提供商，都可能被迫实施了解你的客户（KYC）程序。

Financial writer John Paul Koning believes the case against Storm could become a landmark case in the cryptocurrency industry, focusing on the liability of individuals for smart contracts and their interfaces.

财经作家约翰·保罗·科宁 (John Paul Koning) 认为，针对 Storm 的案件可能成为加密货币行业的里程碑式案件，重点关注个人对智能合约及其界面的责任。

Cryptocurrency lawyer Gabriel Shapiro expresses concern over the DOJ's arguments potentially defining decentralized application operators as money transmitters. However, Shapiro believes the case will ultimately hinge on the role of relayers and the Tornado Cash (TORN) token.

加密货币律师加布里埃尔·夏皮罗 (Gabriel Shapiro) 对司法部可能将去中心化应用程序运营商定义为货币传输者的论点表示担忧。然而，夏皮罗认为，此案最终将取决于中继者和 Tornado Cash (TORN) 代币的角色。

Storm's trial is scheduled for September. Semenov remains at large.

Storm 的审判定于九月进行。谢苗诺夫仍然逍遥法外。
