> still being understanding of GitHub trying to cut ties with the sanctioned entity

What is the name of this sanctioned entity that GitHub supposedly cut ties with?

You'll note that none of the developers who had their accounts suspended were themselves sanctioned.

Tornado Cash, which had an organization on GitHub and the developers were members of that organization. I don't know if I agree with the decision but I certainly understand why it would be made by a lawyer trying to ensure they are in compliance with a sanction as soon as possible.

GitHub organizations are not legal entities.

As far as I know, Tornado Cash is not a legal entity either.
