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 coin mixer Samourai. These groups believe that SamouraiWallet merely assists people in executing financial transactions online and does not violate U.S. law. 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.
