12.1Enforcement Action Disclaimers. Mandioca LLC cannot control or reverse enforcement actions taken by U.S. authorities, including but not limited to the Drug Enforcement Administration and the U.S. Secret Service.This includes the freezing or blacklisting of centralized stablecoins and other digital assets held in specific wallets. When a wallet is frozen or blacklisted, it is typically the result of decisions made by law enforcement agencies or by the issuers of specific stablecoins (e.g., USDC, USDT), who act in compliance with applicable laws and regulatory obligations. These actions are outside our purview.
This risk is inherent in using centralized stablecoins like USDC and USDT. These assets can be frozen or rendered non-transferable by their issuers if flagged by regulators or law enforcement,even without prior notice.
While we take all reasonable compliance steps,including KYC/AML measures and transaction screening, we cannot guarantee that counterparties or wallets will not be subject to investigation or enforcement.Mandioca cannot accept liability for losses arising from such freezes, as these are outside our control.
Recommendations for Users:
● Only use wallets and counterparties with known and verified histories.
● Maintain strong documentation regarding the source and intended use of funds.
● Stay informed about evolving U.S. and international regulatory frameworks.
If your wallet has been impacted or you believe enforcement action may be involved, we recommend seeking independent legal counsel and contacting the relevant authority directly. Mandioca remains available to support you in navigating best practices but cannot influence or reverse asset freezes initiated by third parties.
