Tornado Cash sold crypto “privacy”; the US saw “money laundering.”

"Crypto mixers" exist because of a peculiar feature of cryptocurrencies—most are fully traceable using their public blockchain ledgers. To provide more privacy to crypto account owners, a mixer will let people toss their crypto into a large pool, where it is "mixed" with other people's crypto. At a later date, each crypto owner can choose to withdraw their money from the pool into a new, anonymous wallet, thus making the movement of the crypto harder to track.

Deal: No one should pay full price for an Apple iPad A16 anymore

After its March 2025 release, the Apple iPad A16 has almost never been at its full $349 price point. So much so that we would say no one should pay that much for it anymore. The right price to pay is $299, which is what it has cost most of the time since its launch, and what you can get it for today. Buy the Apple iPad A16 for $299 ($50 off) This offer is available from Amazon. The discount applies to all color versions: Blue, Pink, Silver, and Yellow. I have honestly been recommending the App
