币界网报道：Vitalik Buterin has publicly expressed support for Roman Storm, co-founder of Tornado Cash, who faces legal challenges in the U.S. The Ethereum Foundation also joined the legal battle by filing an amicus brief, arguing that open-source software development should not be criminalized. Buterin emphasized the importance of privacy tools like Tornado Cash for legitimate uses, such as protecting activists and journalists, while acknowledging potential misuse. The U.S. Department of Justice charged Storm with conspiracy to commit money laundering and sanctions violations, alleging Tornado Cash facilitated illicit transactions. The case has sparked debate over the liability of developers for third-party misuse of their code. Crypto advocates warn the outcome could set a precedent impacting open-source innovation.
