The biggest crypto story of the last week was the US Department of Treasury\u2019s decision to sanction cryptocurrency mixer Tornado Cash. Why did it happen? What does it mean for freedom of speech? What are the implications to ordinary Americans who were using Tornado Cash? What does it have to do with Putin and North Korea? I discussed all of this and more with subject matter experts: Michael Fasanello, a compliance officer, and Seth Hertlein, global head of policy at Ledger.\n\nRead Seth\u2019s Twitter thread on Tornado Cash:\nhttps://mobile.twitter.com/SethHertlein/status/1557442355678117889 \n\nJOIN THE FREE WOLF DEN NEWSLETTER\nhttps://www.getrevue.co/profile/TheWolfDen\n\nTHANK YOU TO OUR SPONSOR\n\u25ba\u25ba Have you ever had your exchange go completely offline during days of high volatility?
