[Vitalik Buterin donates 100 ETH to Roman Storm's legal defense fund] Golden Finance reported that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin donated 100 ETH, worth about $240,000, to the legal defense fund of Roman Storm, a Tornado Cash developer accused of money laundering. This is the third time Vitalik has supported the fund, which has raised more than 327 ETH. A US judge rejected Storm's motion to withdraw the lawsuit, and the case will proceed. Storm denies the charges and faces up to 45 years in prison if convicted. Despite facing sanctions, Tornado Cash's deposits in the first half of 2024 still reached about $1.9 billion.
