I wonder if it is possible to have a variation of Tornado where the TVL automatically moves to a new deployment at a new random address every N blocks, so that it's not as simple to have specific addresses sanctioned. I don't know Tornado very well and don't know if this would be possible.

I mean, you'd sanction that address and any other it deploys to. In addition, sanctions are transitive (by how much no one knows).

  Not knowing anything about cryptocurrencies or running distributed systems on the wilds of the internet, I will ask a dumb question: Is it possible to design an algorithm that comes to a consensus on what new address to use faster than the legal system can sanction them?

    You could cascade the sanctions so any addresses touched by sanctioned addresses becomes sanctioned too; that leads you open to trolling and abuse where a sanctioned address sends money to celebrities to impact them. This could probably be dealt with by saying anyone who uses an obvious Tornado-style contract that's been sent money from XYZ address is illegal, so you don't end up with the trolling, but I don't know for sure how that'd work.

      There are still big legitimate institutional entities doing crypto, right? At some point you must hit "7 degrees to Wells Fargo" or whatever, right?

    Of course. It's a riskier implementation from a smart contract security standpoint, but entirely possible.
