According to reports, crypto 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 mixer Samourai. These groups argue that SamouraiWallet merely assists individuals in executing financial transactions online and does not violate U.S. law. Nevertheless, a federal judge rejected these groups' amicus briefs this week. Previously, the U.S. government shut down SamouraiWallet and arrested its developers, accusing the application of being an "unlicensed money transmitting business" used by criminals.
