The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has been actively pursuing cases against non-custodial wallet developers, specifically targeting Tornado Cash and Samourai Wallet for unlicensed money transmission charges. This crackdown has sparked significant concern within the cryptocurrency community, as it suggests a broader interpretation of what constitutes an unlicensed money transmitter. In response, various discussions and podcasts are being organized to address these issues, featuring experts from the crypto industry to explore the implications of these legal actions and the future of privacy and regulatory measures in the crypto space.
