[Roman Storm 🇺🇸 🌪️ @rstormsf]

My name is Roman Storm, and I am one of the founders of Tornado Cash, a non-custodial privacy protocol.

I am being prosecuted for writing open-source code that enables private crypto transactions in a completely non-custodial manner. This prosecution represents a terrifying criminalization of privacy.

The charges against me threaten to criminalize software development itself. If successful, the implications could extend far beyond the crypto industry, impacting every software developer. I face up to 45 years in prison on charges including operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and sanctions evasion.

This case has already had a chilling effect on developers working on software tools. Recently, a developer filed a lawsuit against the DOJ, seeking relief because my case has made them fearful of releasing new software.

Additionally, there is significant confusion around the 1960 charge (operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business), as different government agencies have conflicting interpretations of the law.

“This prosecution threatens to criminalize software development itself,” said Keri Axel of Waymaker LLP, my legal counsel.

American entrepreneur and politician @VivekGRamaswamy commented, “You can’t go after the developers of code. What you actually need to do is go after individual bad actors who are breaking the laws that already exist.”

Multiple amicus briefs have been filed in support of my defense by the DeFi Education Fund (@fund_defi), Coin Center (@coincenter), and Blockchain Association (@BlockchainAssn):

The 5th Circuit Court has already ruled that Tornado Cash sanctions were unlawful:

However, the DOJ has dismissed this ruling as irrelevant:

My trial is set for April 14, 2025.

Security check to get into Delhi airport, guard snatches passport out of my hand without a word, it falls to v dirty ground. Hadn't realised just how much I see it as a sacred object, not to be profaned etc.

@FrenlyOfficer I'm in Taiwan now and my host family dad tells me that people from his generation (in his 40s) and earlier preemptively honk ("just letting you know I'm here!") but young people don't and I can tell he's a little sad about it
He also says the Koreans don't have hearts

[~sitbus-dapsup @SDapsup]

@FrenlyOfficer My dad spent several years where he'd drive a truck in the iron ore mines of Western Australia for four months and then ride his motorbike back to Sydney and drink and chase girls for eight months, then repeat (stopped when he met my mum)

“Affirmative, Dave”
“HAL, the pod bay doors are still closed, please open them”
“I’m sorry Dave, you’re right they’re still closed. I’ve opened them now.”
“HAL they’re still closed…”
“You’re right Dave, I’m sorry, they should be open now”
“HAL…”

@SDapsup maybe SETI is actually a proof-of-work the aliens invented

[~sitbus-dapsup @SDapsup]

what if aliens had been radioing us a stream of computer viruses disguised as background radiation, and eventually a computer analyzing the SETI stream gets infected

Something I quite like about (some) zoomers is how less scarred they are by the excesses of the culture wars than millennials.
Many of us still have a reflexive fear of saying the wrong thing.
