Roman Storm is not a criminal—he’s a talented software developer who built Tornado Cash to make financial privacy accessible for all. Privacy isn’t a crime. Yesterday’s Fifth Circuit ruling against OFAC’s sanctions on Tornado Cash proves that this prosecution is deeply flawed and sets a dangerous precedent for innovation. If we allow developers to be punished for creating tools that empower freedom, we risk chilling innovation and undermining the values of a free society. Support Roman’s defense and stand up for privacy, open-source development, and the future of permissionless innovation.

A/o now I don’t intend to introduce any barriers to entry to this channel, as there aren’t enough cypherpunks on earth to warrant making it harder to join If we start having problems with spam in the future I will leave open the possibility—but failing that, there are enough restrictions in the world already without me adding to them 🫡

The case against Roman Storm convenes in the US. on December 2 If he is convicted, it will set a dangerous precedent—the US government will be empowered to target any open source software developer for crimes allegedly committed with the help of their code Please donate to his defense @ wewantjusticedao.org
