The "we are not a person or organization" argument sort of breaks down once you file a lawsuit.

One of the plantiffs deposited funds into Tornado for personal privacy, and now cannot legally access these funds. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txwd.1188185/gov.uscourts.txwd.1188185.1.0.pdf https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txwd.11...
- null0pointer 4y agoIs it possible the court will just say "Plaintiffs get a one-time opportunity to declare the source of and withdraw their funds from the contract"? I don't know if this is the sort of thing a court can do but it seems like the obvious solution to eliminate the damages to the plaintiffs while keeping the sanction in place.
