Paradigm支持Roman Storm,呼籲陪審團澄清法律定義




Paradigm呼籲陪審團清晰界定Roman Storm的Tornado Cash案件

Paradigm的首席法律官和總法律顧問表示,如果Roman Storm被判有罪,可能會減緩未來在加密和金融科技行業的軟件開發。

陪審團需要法律的完整背景

在6月13日提交的法庭意見書中,Paradigm主張,法院必須確保陪審團理解,若要判定Storm有罪,檢方必須證明他明知自己在經營一個金錢傳輸業務。這包括收取費用、明知地代表公眾傳輸資金、明知地處理被指控為犯罪的特定收益,以及擁有或控制被傳輸或轉移的資金。

法庭意見書是由未直接參與案件的方提交的,該方對結果有興趣,並希望向法庭提供建議或另一種觀點。

軟件開發者並非金錢傳輸者

Paradigm的首席法律官Katie Biber和總法律顧問Gina Moon在星期二的部落格文章中表示,檢方的論點“與法律的明確文本、清晰的FinCEN指導和數十年的案例法相悖”。他們指出,在奧巴馬總統任內,美國財政部在2014年認為,軟件開發不構成接受和傳輸價值。

他們還提到,2019年,該部門認為,對用戶加密貨幣的完全獨立控制是判定中介是否為金錢傳輸者的一個因素。“讓這項指控持續存在,風險在於讓未經選舉的檢察官改變刑法的明確意義,並威脅到普通公民,即使他們遵循廣泛傳播和接受的監管指導,也可能面臨入獄的風險,”他們說。

美國於2023年8月對Roman Storm和另一位共同創始人Roman Semenov提出指控,指控他們通過Tornado Cash幫助洗錢超過10億美元的加密貨幣。

有罪判決可能損害創新

Biber和Moon表示,這宗案件的“風險很高”,因為如果Storm被判有罪,可能會阻礙加密和金融科技領域的創新和軟件開發。同時,這也可能對更廣泛的開源、人工智能和技術社區產生連鎖反應,因為軟件開發者可能會因其產品的使用而承擔責任。

“這就像起訴電視製造商因為在空中播出國家機密,或起訴皮夾工匠因為他們的皮夾裡有盜竊的現金,或起訴蘋果因為在iPhone通話中形成的陰謀一樣荒謬,”Biber和Moon說。

預計審判將於7月14日開始。5月15日,在司法部發布的一份4月備忘錄後,對於經營無牌金錢傳輸業務的指控被撤銷,該備忘錄表示該機構不會因用戶行為起訴像Tornado Cash這樣的加密混合器。

這一案件引發了對於法律如何適用於新興科技的深思,尤其是在加密貨幣和金融科技日益普及的背景下。Paradigm的立場不僅是為了保護個別開發者的權益,更是對整個行業未來發展的深刻反思。若法律未能適應科技的進步,將可能對創新造成長期的負面影響,這對於任何一個希望在這個快速變化的領域中立足的企業或個人來說,都是一個不容忽視的挑戰。

Prompt (Enhanced, Artistic & Detailed):

A young Asian female inspired by "Imada Mio's" delicate doll-like aesthetic (精緻洋娃娃臉), featuring extraordinarily large, round, and soulful eyes with subtle brown irises, framed by long fluttering lashes. Her face is petite and exquisitely shaped with a defined V-line jaw, soft rosy cheeks flushed with youthful vitality, and plush, natural lips softly parted in a gentle, innocent yet slightly flirtatious expression. Her complexion is luminous and porcelain-smooth.

Her hair is long, dark chocolate brown, and styled in an artfully messy “just woke up” look (剛睡醒的凌亂感), with tousled waves and a touch of natural volume that frames her face and cascades down her shoulders, effortlessly blending wildness and charm.

She wears an oversized, semi-sheer white button-down shirt in a borrowed-from-the-boyfriend style (男友風白襯衫); the shirt slips loosely off her slim shoulders, unbuttoned at the top to reveal graceful collarbones and a hint of décolleté. The hem of the shirt falls mid-thigh, creating a tasteful "bottomless" look (下衣失蹤風格), her bare legs just visible beneath the diaphanous fabric, enhancing a pure yet subtly sexy visual impact.

The image is rendered with a high-key, natural daylight aesthetic reminiscent of Japanese gravure photobooks (寫真集風格): bright, airy lighting softly illuminates her features, casting gentle highlights and diffuse shadows for a dreamy, ethereal effect. Skin is rendered creamy and velvety with impeccable smoothness. The color palette echoes Fujifilm PRO 400H—soft, milky tones with delicate pastels, gentle greens, natural skin, and a nostalgic film grain that adds warmth and authenticity, evoking an elegant, fresh, and intimate atmosphere.

She is posed naturally, perhaps seated on light bed linens or by a sunlit window, exuding a blend of youthful innocence, pure allure, and quiet confidence. Hyper-detailed, cinematic composition, fine-tuned for photorealism yet with a subtle artistic charm. Edit the uploaded photo (face based on the reference photo).

She is wearing a floral sleeveless dress with a fitted waist and a short, flowy skirt. She has a simple gold necklace and her dark hair is tied back. Her arms are raised, one hand higher than the other, and she is barefoot, standing on wet ground with her toes touching the surface. The background is blurred with dark green trees, emphasizing her joyful expression and movement. The rain is falling steadily around her, creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere.
