Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche responded to a question from Coinbase CLO Paul Grewal about the prosecution of Tornado Cash and Samourai Wallet. Both cases were initiated under the Biden administration but continued under Trump. Blanche stated that developers who do not assist third parties in committing crimes are not held accountable. He emphasized that the industry and programmers need to understand that the Department of Justice has fundamentally changed its approach. In 2025, Roman Storm, the developer of the crypto-mixer Tornado Cash, was found guilty of unlicensed money transfers. In November 2025, co-founders of the BTC-mixer Samourai Wallet, Keonne Rodriguez and William Hill, were also found guilty on similar charges. Previously, Blanche had stated that the previous administration used the Department of Justice to regulate the crypto industry through prosecutions.
