币界网报道:Tornado Cash founder Alexey Pertsev pleaded not guilty to money laundering charges in a Dutch court, arguing the privacy tool merely provides technology without controlling user transactions. Prosecutors allege Tornado Cash processed $1.2 billion in illicit funds, including $625 million stolen by North Korean hackers. Pertsev's defense maintains developers shouldn't be liable for how open-source software is used, comparing it to knife manufacturers not responsible for stabbings. The trial continues as the crypto community watches closely, with verdict expected to set precedent for developer liability in decentralized finance cases.
