Cryptography advocacy groups call for the dismissal of the case against the Bitcoin mixing service Samourai

ChainCatcher news, according to Decrypt, crypto advocacy groups such as the Blockchain Association, Coin Center, DeFi Education Fund, and the Bitcoin Policy Institute are calling for the dismissal of the case against the Bitcoin mixing service Samourai.

These groups believe that Samourai Wallet merely helps people conduct financial transactions online without violating U.S. law. Nevertheless, a federal judge this week refused to accept these groups' amicus briefs. Previously, the U.S. government shut down Samourai Wallet and arrested its developers, accusing the application of being an "unlicensed money transmitting business" used by criminals.
