以太坊聯合創始人 Vitalik Buterin 介入支持 Tornado Cash 開發者 Roman Storm 和 Alexey Pertsev，因為他們因加密貨幣混合器的工作而面臨法律挑戰。

In a Dec. 31 announcement by the Juicebox project “Free Pertsev and Storm,” Buterin was credited with donating 50 Ether (ETH), valued at approximately $170,000, to assist with the developers’ legal expenses.

Juicebox 專案「釋放 Pertsev 和 Storm」在 12 月 31 日發布的聲明中，Buterin 捐贈了 50 枚以太幣（ETH），價值約 17 萬美元，用於協助開發人員支付法律費用。

The donation forms part of a broader community effort to raise funds for Storm and Pertsev’s legal defense, with a goal of collecting $2.5 million.

這項捐款是社區為 Storm 和 Pertsev 的法律辯護籌集資金的更廣泛努力的一部分，目標是籌集 250 萬美元。

According to the project's latest update, about $650,000 has been raised so far through JusticeDAO, a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) aiming to provide legal assistance to individuals facing legal troubles related to Web3 projects.

根據該計畫的最新更新，迄今為止，已經透過 JusticeDAO 籌集了約 65 萬美元，JusticeDAO 是一個去中心化自治組織 (DAO)，旨在為面臨與 Web3 計畫相關法律問題的個人提供法律援助。

Storm is set to stand trial on April 14, facing charges from the United States related to money laundering, sanctions violations and fraud. Pertsev, on the other hand, was arrested by Dutch authorities in 2022 and later sentenced to over five years in prison for his alleged involvement in laundering illicit funds through Tornado Cash. He is currently appealing the verdict.

Storm 將於 4 月 14 日接受審判，面臨美國有關洗錢、違反制裁和欺詐的指控。另一方面，佩爾采夫於 2022 年被荷蘭當局逮捕，後來因涉嫌透過 Tornado Cash 參與洗錢非法資金而被判處五年以上監禁。目前他正在對判決提出上訴。

The Tornado Cash saga began in 2022 when Dutch authorities arrested Pertsev, followed by the U.S. charges against Storm and Semenov. The cryptocurrency mixer was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department in August 2022, sparking widespread debate within the crypto community.

龍捲風現金傳奇始於 2022 年，當時荷蘭當局逮捕了佩爾采夫，隨後美國對斯托姆和謝苗諾夫提出指控。加密貨幣混合器於 2022 年 8 月受到美國財政部的製裁，引發了加密社群的廣泛爭論。
