Van Loon v. TREA

Van Loon sues the TREA arguing that Tornado Cash is code (not an entity), and therefore cannot be sanctioned. Plaintiffs appeal the District Court Decision linked here, claiming that the district court erred by concluding that the Department satisfied three of the requirements for a designation under IEEPA and the North Korea Act.

Is Tornado Cash a corporation subject to sanctions, or is it an ownerless computer code that cannot be sanctioned?
