of Tornado Cash Founder 🚨

$TORN

Ethereum core developer Federico Caroni announced a

huge donation of $500,000 to the legal defense fund of Roman Storm, the founder of the mixing service Tornado Cash, following his personal experience of being detained in Turkey for 24 hours due to allegations of his connection to a privacy protocol on Ethereum.

Caroni stated that the Ethereum Foundation will match donations up to an additional $500,000, potentially doubling the impact of the support.

📌 Roman Storm was recently convicted of operating an unlicensed money transmitter and may face a penalty of up to 5 years in prison, while he continues to raise funds with the aim of reaching $7 million before a potential trial in New York.

⚖️ The case has sparked widespread debate about the freedom to write code and the extent to which it is considered a crime.
