BlockBeats news, on August 12, reported by The Block, Argentine blockchain developer 'Fede's intern' was briefly detained by the police upon entering Turkey, but has since been released and returned to Europe. He stated that the incident stemmed from a case brought against him by Turkey's Interior Minister, accusing him of aiding others in the abuse of Ethereum, allegedly related to a certain privacy protocol.
The developer stated that his trip was to promote DeFi projects and wine export cooperation. He emphasized that the team's previous research on Tornado Cash only involved de-anonymization analysis and had never participated in illegal activities.
Fede's intern stated that he has decided to donate $500,000 to the legal defense of Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm.
