VITALIK BUTERIN DONATED 100 ETH TO DEFEND TORNADO CASH DEVELOPERS

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has donated 100 ETH (~$242,000) to the legal defense fund for Tornado Cash developers Alexey Pertsev and Roman Storm.

The donation was received on Storm's support page. According to it, the donation amount at the time of writing is 327.51 ETH (~$793,000). Pertsev's page has another 56.19 ETH (~$136,000).

"I can't describe how much this means to me. Thank you for your long-term support," Storm wrote.

This is Buterin's third donation to defend Tornado Cash developers. In May, he donated 30 ETH to the same Free Alexey & Roman fund, launched in January on the Juicebox decentralized platform.
