If the person who received the ETH is a US person, it may not be a great idea to use the tainted money to pay foreigners for services.

By that logic US persons can't use Ethereum at all. If you withdraw ETH from Coinbase it is very likely that those coins will have passed through tornado.cash at some point.

This logic obviously doesn't hold up to even the slightest scrutiny. There's too much American money invested in Ethereum for any government agency to even seriously consider the idea of destroying it like this.

The US government routinely spends enormous sums of money to destroy industries where significant amounts of American money is invested.

Hey now you're getting it
