According to reports, crypto advocacy groups such as the Blockchain Association, CoinCenter, the 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 merely helps people conduct financial transactions online without violating U.S. law. Nevertheless, a federal judge this week refused to accept these groups' amicus briefs. 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.
