It looks like this only checks one of the blacklisted addresses. For the full set, see:

Blacklists have been a topic in Bitcoin for ages. The problem with a blacklist is that in principle, identity creation is easy. Tornado team gets just one new address, and it's whack-a-mole time for Treasury.

I doubt this will work out the way Treasury thinks it will.



Isn't the point that legal crypto-fiat gateways will do (some of) the job for them, and ban stuff like that (beyond explicit Treasury bans) voluntarily?
