Thanks for chance to highlight sanctions complexity for devs: TC delisting kept Semenov sanctioned as a contributor to (now) delisted code.

“By denying this request, the court has compromised my client’s fundamental right to a fair trial, undermining the principle of equality of arms. In a case where digital evidence forms the basis of the accusations, ensuring equality of arms is crucial,” de Boer added. twitter.com/m_mosier_/status/1...

Earlier American Founders worried (& wrote) about this too: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, & effects, against unreasonable searches & seizures, shall not be violated, & no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause..." 4th Am.

w/ former NatSec officials: "We believe wholeheartedly that if the United States proactively creates structures for this technology to flourish onshore, policymakers will quickly see that blockchain & digital assets can be leveraged as tools of strength & democratization..."
