The legal battle over Tornado Cash developer Alexey Pertsev has reached a critical juncture as he seeks to raise more funds to fight his lawsuit. Last month a Dutch court refused to release Alexey Pertsev, forcing him to prepare a further appeal. Another Tornado Cash developer, Roman Storm, is set to go on trial in the US in September on charges of money laundering, conspiring to operate an unlicensed money transfer business, and conspiring to violate US sanctions laws.
