I just heard the news about Tornado Cash, the sanction, and the arrest of a suspected Tornado Cash developer. It made the point of my debate in the topic. I believe nopara37 knew something like this would happen, and therefore accepted the trade-off of blocking UTXOs from illegal activities. From his point of view, he probably thinks that he made the right decision to protect himself, Wasabi, and its users.
Good luck with that:

It should be noted that this news article is

Now I'm starting to think that it's sheer hypocrisy if the same service that willingly compied with OFAC is blaclisted by it, and the same dev who voluntarily made it OFAC-compliant was the one arrested by the Dutch authorities.
