"We have no evidence this is tied to U.S. sanctions."
Hmm, I suppose you are correct technically ( no direct evidence of connection ), however:
1. Sanctions are issued on 08/08/22 for Tornado Cash by OFAC
2. Guy writing software for Tornado Cash is arrested
It does not take a large leap of faith. I will go a step further, given how much companies like to avoid OFAC issues ( and that does include non-US companies ), I am all but certain the two are connected.
