SEC委员@HesterPeirce今天发表了一场精彩的演讲，主题是金融隐私，其中提到了Phil Zimmermann的《相当好的隐私》（PGP）和Eric Hughes的《密码朋克宣言》。 她表示：“与其将其视为恐惧的对象，我们应该拥抱这些工具帮助人类过上更自由生活的能力，而不受不当的金融监控。人们也会将这些工具用于不当目的，但将技术视为恶棍会影响合法用户的隐私。”

上午9:35 陪审团入场！ 法官：我们从政府开始。 助理美国检察官Gianforti：你们对国际犯罪的世界有着前排的观察。Roman Storm知道自己在做什么，他赚了数百万美元。他发现真正的钱不在隐私中，而是在犯罪中。

As of Thursday, in their Rule 29 response, the DOJ is still pushing this theory that Storm, by publishing TC software, provided a "valuable service" to a sanctioned entity because DPRK used the protocol. This flawed principle is limitless: if I make a hammer with no particular end user in mind and somehow that hammer ends up being used by DPRK, I provided them a "valuable service." But you don't see them going after Apple for the iPhone, Google for its tech suite, etc., even though these tech tools are used by the DPRK. That's because this is a gross distortion of the law. Back when we @fund_defi @jchervinsky wrote our amicus brief in support of @rstormsf's MTD, we reviewed over 100 sanctions cases and provided the court with a table of them - in every single case there was nexus between the sanctioned entity and the defendant, some evidence the defendant directly connected with the SDN or created a tool *for* the SDN specifically. There was no case - none - where a defendant made a tool with no particular end user in mind and was then convicted of violating sanctions because an SDN ended up with that tool in hand.
