tldr; Ethereum co-creator Vitalik Buterin has donated 100 ETH to support the legal defense of Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm. Storm, who helped launch the crypto mixing protocol in 2019, expressed gratitude for Buterin’s support. Tornado Cash was sanctioned by the US government in 2022 for allegedly laundering over $7 billion, including funds linked to the Lazarus Group. Storm faces legal charges and high expenses, with the defense fund raising over $800,000. This marks Buterin’s third donation to support Tornado Cash developers.
