Roman Storm asks the open-source software community: Are you worried about being prosecuted for developing DeFi platforms?

Jinse Finance reported that Roman Storm, developer of the Tornado Cash privacy protocol, asked the open-source software community whether they are concerned about being prosecuted retroactively by the US Department of Justice for developing decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. Storm asked DeFi developers: How can you be sure you won't be prosecuted by the Department of Justice for "MSB" (building non-custodial protocols), and then be accused of having to build custodial protocols instead? If SDNY can charge developers for building non-custodial protocols... then what safety is left?
