Dutch court finds Tornado Cash founder Alexey Pertsev guilty of money laundering
A Dutch court composed of three judges has ruled that Tornado Cash developer Alexey Pertsev committed the crime of laundering $1.2 billion in illegal assets on a cryptocurrency mixing platform. It is expected that the panel will also sentence 31-year-old Russian resident Alexey Pertsev on Tuesday, and Pertsev's lawyer will have 14 days to appeal the judge's ruling. Experts say that this ruling will reshape the privacy protection process in the decentralized finance field and have a "chilling effect" on the development of open-source software that provides financial privacy protection tools for users.
