I am no expert in reading these notices, but they seem to be designating a bunch of addresses, not a PDF. I imagine that a reasonable way to handle these things would be to designate a problematic contract or implementations thereof as well as the outflows from it. So any tornado cash contract would be sanctioned, and the assets removed from it would be sanctioned, and assets derived from them, etc. A law-abiding cryptocurrency should have a way to track these assets so they can be frozen properly. If, say, Ethereum can’t do that, then Ethereum has a problem and it would be reasonable to entirely ban the conversion of ETH to USD.

Those are some of the addresses to which the contract suite was deployed at the time the letter was written (of course there are now many more). They are a reference to the source code. > A law-abiding cryptocurrency should have a way to track these assets so they can be frozen properly. If, say, Ethereum can’t do that, then Ethereum has a problem What you see as a problem, many people see as a feature. The whole point of an agnostic piece of software able to resolve transactions is to subvert the role of criminal cartels in censoring them.
