In January of 2025, Coin Center fellow, Michael Lewellen sued the DOJ alleging

The link from Jan 16, 2025 is broken

FYI: Trump was inaugurated on Jan 20, Pam Bondi was confirmed on Feb 4, 2025

Judge was Reed O'Connor

@Scoresby your post is misleading by making the defendant Bondi and the Trump admin, the timeline and Lewellen's post contradicts your deceptive headline

I accidentally cut off the final character of the link. Here is the correct link:

https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2025/01/16/texas-man-sues-attorney-general-over-doj-s-prosecution-of-crypto-software-devs

So your issue is that it's Biden-era and The Rage attributed it to Trump era?

in the context of both the Tornado Cash and Samourai cases, I think there's a case to be made that it's the same thing. Both of those were cases started in the Biden administration, but concluded (unhappily) in the Trump.

Why do you love the government so much?

I said "in the context of Tornado Cash and Samourai."

Can you explain the difference between Biden DOJ and Trump DOJ with respect to bitcoin or crypto privacy?
