This David-and-Goliath battle saw Preston and five other brave souls, including the mighty Coinbase, take on the unjust sanctions imposed on the innovative crypto mixer. Tornado Cash, a beacon of privacy in the blockchain realm, faced the wrath of OFAC when unsavory characters misused it for illicit purposes.
