Tornado Cash developer Alexey Pertsev has reached a critical point in his legal battle, and he is seeking to raise more funds to deal with the lawsuit. Last month a court in the Netherlands announced that it had refused to release Alexey Pertsev, so he has had to prepare a further appeal.
In addition, another Tornado Cash developer, Roman Storm, will go on trial in the United States in September on charges of money laundering, conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmission business, and conspiracy to violate U.S. sanctions laws.
