In August 2022, the US authorities blacklisted Tornado Cash as a "sanctioned entity," resulting in the arrests of two developers: Alexey Pertsev (Netherlands) and Roman Storm (US). The arrests of Roman Storm and Alexey Pertsev are considered a direct attack on the open-source development space and may have devastating consequences for developers who write and publish code.
The outcome of Alexey and Roman's upcoming 2024 trials will set precedents for privacy in web3 and the freedom to publish code without fear of government persecution. Roman and Alex need your help to build a strong defense not just for their sake, but for crypto users and developers worldwide. In response to the arrests, a group of sympathizers came together to form WeWantJusticeDAO to advocate on their behalf and help raise funds for legal defense.
