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