Cover Story: In 2022, the US Department of Treasury sanctioned Tornado Cash, a virtual currency mixer based on the Ethereum blockchain, resulting in the arrest of one of its developers. This marks the first time OFAC has sanctioned software as a foreign 'person'. The decentralized nature of the software and its global user base illustrate the challenges for establishing jurisdiction over decentralized software and its users. Traditional approaches to jurisdiction, such as claiming jurisdiction over citizens, residents, and assets passing through a country's territory, are insufficient for decentralized programs with nodes located around the world. This article takes a comparative approach to explore the challenges of establishing criminal jurisdiction on cryptocurrency-related crimes. View this paper
