🚨 Ethereum Foundation Matches $500K for Roman Storm’s Legal Defense 🚨
The Ethereum Foundation has pledged to match up to $500,000 in donations to support Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm in his legal battle.
🔹 Storm was found guilty of operating an unlicensed money transmission business, though the jury couldn’t reach a verdict on money laundering and sanctions charges.
🔹 He plans to appeal, with supporters saying the case could set a global precedent for software developers.
🔹 Prosecutors allege Tornado Cash facilitated over $1B in illicit transactions, a claim Storm denies.
💬 “Privacy is normal, and writing code is not a crime,” the foundation stated, with Vitalik Buterin resharing the message.
Crypto advocates warn this fight is about developer freedom and the future of privacy tech in blockchain.
