According to reports, cryptocurrency 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 coin mixer Samourai. These groups argue that SamouraiWallet merely helps people execute financial transactions online without violating U.S. laws. Nevertheless, a federal judge this week rejected these groups' amicus briefs. Previously, the U.S. government shut down SamouraiWallet and arrested its developers, accusing the application of being an "unlicensed remittance business" used by criminals.
