Privacy Pools joins Common S3nse! ✊
44 days until our Privacy Reunion, Support Alexey Pertsev's Legal Defense. Privacy Pools joins us in Amsterdam! Crypto 101 & Crypto Drinkiies
44 Days Until Our Privacy Reunion
Alexey Pertsev, a Tornado Cash builder, was arrested here in Amsterdam. It became a defining moment for our community and the open source privacy builders worldwide. Our 1st ETHDam in 2023 responded by putting Privacy and DeFi front and center.
Four years later, Common S3nse continues that mission: bringing together the people building the tools for a more private, open, and permissionless future.
Alexey Pertsev has been sentenced to 64 months in prison.
His crime? Per Dutch court, it’s building TornadoCash, a privacy-enhancing system which anyone can use, and doing so without creating a backdoor to stop “bad guys” from using it.
This ruling goes against all the EU’s public commitments to both privacy and supporting new high-tech startups, the case is arguably the first case where designing and writing code for an opensource software project was an important aspect of being held responsible for the way it was used.
The legal battles don’t end with this first court ruling; this case has now been taken to appeal, and this is where they need your help. Fighting legal battles is not cheap, and this one, having a direct impact on the future of both digital privacy and OpenSource software development in the whole EU, is not an exception.
