龍捲風現金開發商Alexey Pertsev在法院裁決後重新獲得自由

在荷蘭監獄陷入九個月後，加密貨幣混音器龍捲風現金的開發商之一Alexey Pertsev在周五暫時被釋放，但仍在他的頭上掛了64個月的刑期。

After spending nine months in a Dutch jail, Alexey Pertsev, a developer for the cryptocurrency mixer Tornado Cash, was temporarily released on Friday. However, a 64-month sentence still looms over his head.

在荷蘭監獄花了九個月的時間後，加密貨幣攪拌機龍捲風現金的開發商Alexey Pertsev於週五暫時獲釋。然而，一個64個月的刑期仍然籠罩在他的頭上。

Pertsev was arrested in May 2024 and sentenced to five years and four months (64 months) for allegedly facilitating over a billion dollars in money laundering through his work on Tornado Cash. His colleagues, Roman Storm and Roman Semenov, face similar charges in the United States. Storm is set to stand trial in April and could face up to 45 years in prison, while Semenov is reportedly missing and wanted by the FBI.

佩爾塞夫（Pertsev）於2024年5月被捕，並因涉嫌通過在龍捲風現金的工作中促進了超過10億美元的洗錢，被判處五年零四個月（64個月）被判處五年零四個月（64個月）。他的同事，羅馬風暴和羅馬·塞曼諾夫（Roman Semenov）在美國面臨類似的指控。風暴將於4月進行審判，可能面臨長達45年的監禁，而據報導，塞曼諾夫（Semenov）被聯邦調查局（FBI）失踪和通緝。

Tornado Cash facilitates private transactions on the Ethereum blockchain by pooling and mixing cryptocurrency from multiple senders to conceal the origin of the funds. However, trouble arose when the North Korean cybercriminal network Lazarus Group used Tornado Cash to launder hundreds of millions of dollars in 2022. This activity prompted the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) to sanction the platform, an action that was later deemed unlawful. Nevertheless, Storm and Romanov were still charged.

龍捲風現金通過匯總和混合多個發件人的加密貨幣來掩蓋資金的起源，從而有助於以太坊區塊鏈上的私人交易。但是，當朝鮮網絡犯罪網絡拉撒路集團在2022年使用龍捲風現金數億美元時，就會出現麻煩後來被認為是非法的。儘管如此，風暴和羅曼諾夫仍被指控。

In the Netherlands, Pertsev has been held in pre-trial detention since last year. But in a positive development, the court released the 31-year-old developer, placing him under house arrest and electronic monitoring until his trial date.

自去年以來，在荷蘭，佩爾塞夫（Pertsev）一直在預審拘留中舉行。但是在積極的發展中，法院釋放了這位31歲的開發商，將他置於眾議院逮捕和電子監控之前，直到他的審判日期為止。

“Freedom is priceless,” Pertsev wrote in a post on X. “My house arrest was only possible thanks to the work of lawyers, who were paid from your donations. My fight is not over yet, and for a final and confident victory, I still need your help.”

佩爾塞夫（Pertsev）在X上的一篇文章中寫道：“自由無價。我的戰鬥還沒有結束，為了獲得最後和自信的勝利，我仍然需要您的幫助。”
