Roman Storm, co-founder of Tornado Cash, was convicted on conspiracy charges, facing up to decades in prison if unresolved counts are retried. Legal aid groups emphasize the importance of funding for his appeal due to the potential consequences for developers in privacy tech.
In response to Storm’s conviction, the Ethereum Foundation pledged to match donations up to 500,000 USD, underscoring their stance that privacy is integral and code writing should not be criminalized. This case raises concerns about regulatory overreach in software development.
