OfEC actually issued some clarity surprisingly on the like the day after I released the last episode so we didn't have any of that info when we did it but yeah OFEC released an update of an FAQ where they actually did outline if you had money in tornado and you're innocent and you can prove that how do you actually get it out. So there are ways but what you're saying is like even to try to access that because other tools have blocked any address touching it you might not be able to succeed at making that request. It's definitely not the case that Ethereum is totally censoring and it's impossible but it just became quite a bit harder because many tools you would usually rely on
In this week’s episode, Anna and Martin Köppelmann, Co-Founder of Gnosis discuss the OFAC sanctions against Tornado Cash and the impact this has had on builders in the community. They specifically focus on how the Tornado action helped reveal centralizing forces in Ethereum as well as the need for decentralization.
