Dutch authorities arrested Semenov in Amsterdam last year on suspicion of aiding criminal financial activities and facilitating money laundering through the cryptocurrency service Tornado Cash.
The platform, which enabled relatively anonymous cryptocurrency exchanges, faced sanctions by the US Treasury in August for allegedly laundering billions of dollars worth of virtual currency, including funds supposedly stolen by North Korean hackers.
In a subsequent move, the Treasury reversed its initial blacklisting of Tornado Cash in November, instead reclassifying the platform as materially assisting North Korea’s cyber endeavors after considering additional information.
A recent federal court ruling sustained the sanctions against the decentralized cryptocurrency platform Tornado Cash following a civil lawsuit against the US Treasury Department and its leaders.
Filed by six individuals last September in Austin, Texas, the lawsuit claimed that the department’s designations overstepped its jurisdiction and violated the First Amendment.
The legal action received backing from crypto exchange Coinbase Global, aimed at safeguarding privacy in the crypto realm, as stated by CEO Brian Armstrong.
