Tornado Cash sanctions got you down? One anonymous user is taking matters into their own hands.
Due to sanctions, it is illegal for any U.S. persons and entities to interact with Tornado Cash’s smart contract addresses, blockchain or business-wise. Penalties for willful noncompliance can range from fines of $50,000 to $10,000,000 and 10 to 30 years imprisonment.
The consistency of the transactions indicate that the sender may be starting a prank as to direct law enforcement attention to the recipient individuals. However, the Treasury sanctions require"willful" engagement with the blacklisted smart contract addresses as a precondition for possible criminal proceedings. Thus, it is unlikely that the receipt of tokens from Tornado Cash on a gratuitous basis, without any prior knowledge nor engagement, can constitute a violation of the sanctions.
