Tornado Cash developer Alexey Pertsev gets 64 months in prison

2024-05-14 12:12
Odaily News 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 first sentenced to prison in the Netherlands in August 2022 after Tornado Cash was blacklisted by the US government. 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 hack of Ronin Network, owned by Axie Infinity, as well as other major cryptocurrency thefts. (Coindesk)
