According to reports, crypto advocacy groups such as the Blockchain Association, CoinCenter, the DeFi Education Fund, and the Bitcoin Policy Institute are calling for the dismissal of the case against the Bitcoin mixer Samourai. These groups believe that SamouraiWallet simply helps people conduct financial transactions online without violating U.S. law. Nevertheless, a federal judge this week rejected the amici curiae briefs from these groups. Previously, the U.S. government shut down SamouraiWallet and arrested its developers, accusing the application of being an “unlicensed remittance business” used by criminals.
