Two Ex-OFAC Lawyers Walk into a Bar ... and Discuss the Warren-Marshall Bill

Validated - A podcast by Solana Foundation - Tuesdays

In this episode, Austin, Amira (Head of Policy at the Solana Foundation), and two ex-OFAC lawyers discuss regulation in web3 as it pertains to national security. Naturally, they discuss OFAC's sanction of Tornado Cash and consider other ways in which the government could have handled the situation. While the Tornado Cash sanction may be old news at this point, thoughtful conversations about the intersection of blockchain, national security, and technology ethics are always relevant. The recent Warren-Marshall Bill threatens to hold blockchain validators responsible for illicit activity on chain, which, like the Tornado Cash sanctions before it, will have overreaching consequences for the blockchain industry if it passes.
