Golden Finance reported that on Tuesday, a Dutch judge ruled at the Court of 's-Hertogenbosch that Tornado Cash developer Alexey Pertsev was guilty of money laundering. The court sentenced Pertsev to 64 months in prison. The developer was sentenced to prison in the Netherlands for the first time after Tornado Cash was blacklisted by the US government in August 2022. At the time, the US Treasury claimed that Tornado Cash was a key tool of the North Korean hacker group Lazarus. The Lazarus Group was linked to the $625 million hacking attack on Ronin Network, owned by Axie Infinity, and other major cryptocurrency thefts.
