Sterlingov is also alleged to provide Bitcoin mixing infrastructure, but all potential arguments are preserved in the motions. The issues that will be decided in his appeal are a multitude, but the key issue for freedom will be, is mixing solely for the purpose of providing privacy illegal? Is using a mixer for your own privacy illegal? This is the case that is likely going to decide this for everyone. And if his case is found illegal on appeal, I don’t see how Lightning’s privacy features aren’t also illegal. He’s also fighting whether Chainanalysis, ChainArgos, etc are sufficiently qualified as sources of expert testimony given their documented history of mistakes they made in regards to cluster analysis of CoinJoins. Finally, he is also confronting the issue of the government’s claimed infinite jurisdiction over Bitcoin. Jurisdiction is a Constitutional issue and they, to my understanding of the law, failed to adequately establish venue at trial. These are all very important issues for Bitcoiners. This is the case that is actually deciding the law. It has received 0.02 BTC. Sterlingov’s representation is having trouble keeping his doors open due to the burdensome costs of this appeal. https://torekeland.com/roman-sterlingov/
