5th Circ. Reverses Treasury's Block Of Crypto Mixer <https://www.law360.com/technology/articles/2266240?nl_pk=2bd720dd-746c-4744…> By Katryna Perera The Fifth Circuit has rejected the government's blacklisting of Tornado Cash for "its role in laundering virtual currency for malicious cyber actors," saying the cryptocurrency service's immutable smart contracts, or lines of privacy-enabling software code, are not "property" and are therefore unownable and cannot be blocked under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

Re: Bloomberg Coinbase Interview
by Gunnar Larson 01 Dec '24

01 Dec '24

Mr. Briody: Something came up today out of Sofia, Bulgaria and xNY.io - Bank.org needs to circle back one more time with you. On 10/17/24 11:50:24 UTC-4:00, I wrote Bloomberg asking: "I am watching this Bloomberg Live interview now (Former US President and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump discusses his economic policies, immigration and the 2024 US presidential election. Bloomberg News Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait speaks to Trump at an event with the Economic Club of Chicago): https://youtu.be/MyaHbUmVll4?si=d9P4EnfJu3NPajt0. Before I get ahead of myself in watching Bloomberg's journalism yesterday (and, for plausible deniability), I feel implored to re-investigate our last January 31, 2023 e-mail correspondence together." Mr. Briody, since 10/17/24 you have stated multiple times that Bloomberg News Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait's conversation with President Trump at the Economic Club of Chicago had nothing to do with Bloomberg's Coinbase coverage. Is this still the case? Madam Attorney General James: Coinbase and NEXO can be referenced inside of xNY.io's prudential whitepaper: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aeK8X8-2KDZ8tQPN5ksaUCXcxH9tbjexsUbW1ol… . Attorney General James, Sofia, Bulgaria and Nicosia, Cyprus are both protected by New York Human Rights Law. Sofia and the Attorney General's Office have a NEXO connection. Ms. James, xNY.io - Bank.org respectfully reserves all Interjurisdictional rights. Interjurisdictionalmeans between or involving two or more jurisdictions, such as New York City, Sofia and Nicosia.
