Wu learned that Hsiao-Wei Wang, co-executive director of the Ethereum Foundation, tweeted that the Ethereum Foundation will donate an additional $500,000 for the legal defense of Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm. Previously, Roman Storm was found guilty of conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business; the jury did not reach a unanimous decision on the charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering and conspiracy to violate sanctions against North Korea, resulting in no conviction.
