The court accepting this argument would be truly catastrophic to freedom
Incredible revelation by the SDNY in its response to @rstormsf. Apparently, users don’t execute their own transactions whatsoever; instead, they assert that the Tornado Cash UI itself conducts the transaction and the user’s wallet is merely a tool for it to do so. In other words, according to the SDNY, the UI is sentient and users are instruments of its doings. Folks, we’ve reached AGI.
This completely ignores the reality that users control their own assets and execute their own transactions with their private key. And worse, it was confidently submitted to an American court room in opposition to a man’s freedom. So after years of preparing for this case—including studying for trial, listening to hours of testimony, and questioning experts—this is the best the SDNY has to offer. Either the SDNY doesn’t get it or is intentionally misunderstanding the facts.
