Tornado Cash developer Alexey Pertsev sentenced to 64 months in prison
Golden Finance reported that on Tuesday, a Dutch judge ruled at the 's-Hertogenbosch Court that Tornado Cash developer Alexey Pertsev was guilty of money laundering. The court sentenced Pertsev to 64 months in prison. In August 2022, the developer was jailed for the first time in the Netherlands after Tornado Cash was blacklisted by the US government. At the time, the U.S. Treasury Department claimed that Tornado Cash was a key tool for the North Korean hacking group Lazarus. Lazarus Group has been linked to the $625 million hack of Axie Infinity’s Ronin Network and other major cryptocurrency thefts.
