There is still no legal precedent around a case like this as it relates to DAOs and autonomous smart contracts, so a law firm could not have told you anything except "we can neither confirm nor deny." If there is another US sanction that targets a non-custodial smart contract and open source project, please do share.
Devastating that it has come to "do not code an E2EE privacy tool because you might find yourself in jail one day."

Have you hired counsel? This isn’t what lawyers do. Good counsel should provide guard rails. They will say this is novel and that they can’t guarantee anything, but lawyers do that anyway. They’re giving advice, not judgement. One of those rails would involve responding to credible public allegations around being used to launder money by Pyongyang.
