Coinbase Funds Lawsuit Challenging United States Treasury Department on Crypto Privacy and Innovation
by Gunnar Larson 11 Oct '22

11 Oct '22

Check out my new article: https://litigationfinancejournal.com/coinbase-funds-lawsuit-challenging-uni… Brian Armstrong (CEO and Co-Founder of Coinbase) recently announced litigation funding of a new lawsuit that questions the integrity of the United States Treasury’s sanctions of Tornado Cash privacy software. Coinbase’s litigation investment aims to vindicate six individuals who were added to the United States’ sanctions list as part of banning Tornado Cash. According to Coinbase’s blog <https://www.coinbase.com/blog/defending-privacy-in-crypto>, Tornado Cash’s open source software design offers a valuable personal privacy protection utility. Coinbase claims that Treasury may have overreacted by sanctioning the entire Tornado Cash software program protocol technology. Coinbase suggests that law-abiding citizens have a right to privacy, and that congress has not entitled the Treasury to sanction open source software. Coinbase also is concerned that Federal sanctions on open source software may preclude future software innovation. Coinbase’s hope is that the Treasury will reverse the personal sanctions attributed to the six individuals who are the subject of the claim. Additionally, Coinbase hopes to signal the firm’s approach to protecting personal privacy and pure cryptocurrency innovation.

United States: California Limits Use Of Creative Expressions In Criminal Proceedings
by Gunnar Larson 11 Oct '22

11 Oct '22

https://www.mondaq.com/unitedstates/crime/1238138/california-limits-use-of-… One of the more unusual bills enacted by the legislature this year concerns the use of "creative expression" in criminal proceedings. AB 2799 <https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120…> (Jones-Sawyer) defines "creative expression" as the "expression or application of creativity or imagination in the production or arrangement of forms, sounds, words, movements, or symbols, including, but not limited to, music, dance, performance art, visual art, poetry, literature, film, and other such objects or media". Cal. Evid. Code § 352.2(c). Existing law, Evidence Code § 352 allows a court in its discretion to exclude evidence if "its probative value is substantially outweighed by the probability that its admission will (a) necessitate undue consumption of time or (b) create substantial danger of undue prejudice, of confusing the issues, or of misleading the jury". AB 2799 requires a court in making this determination to also consider: - the probative value of such expression for its literal truth or as a truthful narrative is minimal unless that expression is created near in time to the charged crime or crimes, bears a sufficient level of similarity to the charged crime or crimes, or includes factual detail not otherwise publicly available; and - undue prejudice includes, but is not limited to, the possibility that the trier of fact will, in violation of Section 1101, treat the expression as evidence of the defendant's propensity for violence or general criminal disposition as well as the possibility that the evidence will explicitly or implicitly inject racial bias into the proceedings. The new law also requires the court to consider specified additional evidence and make its determination outside the presence of the jury. The bill's legislative history suggests that the primary impetus of the bill was the use of Rap lyrics in criminal proceedings, the definition of "creative expression" is sufficiently broad to encompass any type of music or literary genre, including social media posts and personal letters and other writings. *The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter.

Ms. Chollett, yet again we point to the Metaverse and Money whitepaper mentioned below and published by Citigroup. The Metaverse and Money research highlights insights both from Mr. Putin and Mr. Zuckerberg. It would appear that Meta has made classic marketplace manipulation excuses concerning Meta's mark exactness to the Moscow Exchange. How does Meta plan to resolve harm made to the Digital Asset marketplace through Meta's mark exactness to the Moscow Exchange? Finally, Mr. Peter Thiel was on Meta's board of directors during the Facebook brand re-boot to Meta. Mr. Thiel also sits on the board of Palantir. Henceforth, we are very concerned that the self described "PayPal Mafia" may have had questionable intent associated with Facebook's re-boot to Meta with mark exactness to the Moscow Exchange. At potential sacrifice of international peace and security. We ask for Meta's response no later than October 5, 2022 by Noon EST.
