Ethereum

This was handed out for the press at Alexey's trial.

TL;DR seems to be:

- Tool was used by criminals 
- Alexey did not do anything to stop it 
- Tool has no legitimate non criminal use
- accuse him of criminal intent & arrogance
- 64 months imprisonment
- steal his car & crypto since he is so bad

Shame to NL

They are truly throwing the book at him. I wonder if any of this would have happened without the Lazarus hack; the moment this became a high-profile OFAC sanctions matter, the stakes were raised considerably. Five years in prison is extreme

why not locking up dns resolvers that led to tornado cash too?

A toilet door also has no legitimate non-criminal use. We all know what normal business people are doing behind them, after all. It only serves the criminal purpose of junkies. We should ban toilet doors and jail their manufacturers

>Tool has no legitimate non criminal use

This is actually VERY worrying.

Basically saying that you aren't allowed to use tools like tornado cash for your own privacy.

Classic criminal behavior

But not on his part.
