The Trump administration is cracking down on privacy software such as crypto mixers while loosening regulation for industry backers, as illustrated by the partial conviction of Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm. A jury found Storm guilty of conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business, which carries a maximum of up to five years, and deadlocked on two other charges that carry twenty-year maximums. A White House cryptocurrency working group report recommends extending the Patriot Act to digital asset transactions, and the SEC is running "Project Crypto," described as a "deregulation blitz." Samourai Wallet developers pleaded guilty to one count each and agreed to forfeit a combined $238 million.
