BREAKING: Tornado Cash developer Alexey Pertsev must stay in jail a further three months, a Dutch court has ruled. jackschickler reports
‘S HERTOGENBOSCH, NETHERLANDS – Alexey Perstev has been ordered to stay in jail until Feb. 20 after a Netherlands court found the Tornado Cash developer represented a flight risk.
The Dutch public prosecutor brushed aside arguments that Tornado Cash was a decentralized protocol which Pertsev was powerless to control, claiming that it was in fact one and the same as PepperSec, a company for which Pertsev worked alongside fellow developers Roman Semenov and Roman Storm. “It's clear to us that these judges are not as familiar with the subject matter as they should be,” Cheng said. “At the moment, the case law regarding criminal activities is all about bitcoin mixers … it's very important that the court understands that Tornado Cash is something different.”
