Tornado Cash Developer Alexey Pertsev Sentenced to 64 Months in Prison
On Tuesday, a Dutch judge ruled that Tornado Cash developer Alexey Pertsev was guilty of money laundering. The court sentenced Pertsev to 64 months in prison. In August 2022, Tornado Cash was blacklisted by the US government, and this is the first time the developer has been sentenced to prison in the Netherlands. At the time, the US Treasury Department claimed that Tornado Cash was a key tool for the North Korean hacker group Lazarus. The Lazarus group is linked to the $625 million hack of Axie Infinity's Ronin Network and other major cryptocurrency thefts.
