Crypto industry critics: US Treasury has no authority to sanction Tornado Cash

The US presidential candidate discussed cryptocurrency-related issues in an interview. Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy stated that in August of this year, a judge agreed with the Treasury Department's view after the department sanctioned Tornado Cash last year. Critics of the crypto industry argue that Tornado Cash is not a person but a software, and the Treasury Department has no right to sanction Tornado Cash. Ramaswamy stated that punishing the entire protocol or operation, as in the Tornado Cash case, is illegal and unconstitutional under current law, which is different from holding individual wrongdoers accountable.
