Tornado Cash Developer Alexey Pertsev Sentenced to 64 Months in Prison by Dutch Court…

It’s insane that they’ll send you to jail for writing open-source code but if you explicitly launder money for Jeffrey Epstein’s human trafficking operation your bank just pays a small fine as a cost of doing business…

Damn. Poor guy. That's fucked.

It is, but 64 months is a lot less than I expected him to get. Someone must have decided there's larger fish to fry, or he has given them something/someone worth a discount.

That’s nuts

Definitely insane, but not unexpected. Throughout history, entities with power and control have not been big on sharing either. This is the final warning, decentralize everything (hosting, development, production) or those struggling to maintain control will burn the house down to retain it. "They" are not fucking around, we shouldn't either.

Bullshit

Off with their heads!!!!

Burn this corrupt system down to the ground 🔥
