🚨 Roman Storm Guilty — A “Dangerous Precedent” for Crypto Privacy? 🚨
Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm has been convicted of operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business. Max sentence: 5 years.
Critics say this misapplies money transmitter laws and threatens open-source developers.
💻 Tornado Cash was non-custodial — devs had no control over funds.
⚖️ Legal groups warn: This could criminalize any privacy tool or neutral software misused by bad actors.
📢 Blockchain Association & Solana Policy Institute call for appeal + clear DeFi laws.
Privacy in crypto is on trial — and the outcome could shape the future of open-source development.
