Paul Grewal, head of legal officer at Crypto Exchange Coinbase (Coin), criticized the US Ministry of Finance’s recent filing, seeking to beat the need for a final court decision on Tornado Cash after deleting Crypto Mixer from the sanction list.

On Friday, the Treasury Department’s sanctions removed the watchdog Tornado cash from its global blacklist, while it also removed over 100 ether (ETH) addresses from the specially designated citizen list. The platform was backlisted in 2022 for its alleged role in money laundering of $ 445 million stolen by the North Korea-bound Lazarus Cybercrime Group.

The treasury then argued that the action of delisting Tornado Contacts resolved the current question and that a final judicial decision ordering it to remove the cryptomerabore from its sanction list was no longer necessary, according to a court filed on March 21.

However, Grewal said the Treasury’s attempt to have the case declared that Moot is an attempt to avoid a decision by the fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which will leave the door open to a renewed blacklist and sanctions.

“After relieving TC, they now claim that they have had every need for a final judgment. But that is not the law, and they know,” said Grewal of X.

Coinbase funded the court case that went to the court of appeal, van Loon vs. Treasury.

Grewal quoted the example of the FBI v. The Fikre Case, in which the government removed Yona’s fucking, a US citizen and Sudanese emigers, from the non -fly list, and argued to the court that this act was taking a trial. Fucking had brought a lawsuit that claimed that the government was illegally placing him on the non -fly list.

But the ninth circuit turned the decision to say that the party seeking to beat a case based on its own voluntary cessation of challenged behavior must show that behavior cannot “reasonably be expected to repeat itself.”

In Tornado Cash’s case, the Treasury has not given any assurance that it will not sense the crypto mixer.

“Here, the Treasury has also removed the Tornado contains from SDN, but has not given any assurance that it will not re-list Tornado cash again. It is not good enough and will make this clear to the court,” noted Grewal.
