Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, has once again shown his support for the Free Alexey & Roman Juicebox campaign with a generous donation of 50 ETH. This donation is intended to bolster the legal defense fund of Tornado Cash developers Alexey Pertsev and Roman Storm. Pertsev and Storm were arrested in the Netherlands in August on suspicion of money laundering and facilitating money laundering. Tornado Cash is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency mixing service that allows users to obscure the origin of their funds. Buterin's donation has been met with mixed reactions. Some have praised him for his support of the developers, while others have criticized him for supporting a service that they believe is used for illegal activities. Despite the controversy, Buterin's donation is a significant show of support for the developers. It remains to be seen how the case against Pertsev and Storm will play out, but Buterin's donation will help to ensure that they have the resources they need to mount a robust defense.
