Crypto community rallies behind Tornado Cash developers, raising over $2.3M for their legal defense. Co-founders Roman Storm and Alexey Pertsev face charges of money laundering, sanctions violations, and operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business. Pertsev was recently sentenced to over five years in prison. The case has sparked debate over the legal responsibility of developers for the misuse of their tools. The fund, "Free Alexey & Roman," anticipates legal fees to reach nearly $3.35M in 2024, with significant contributions from Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin.
