Vitalik Buterin has continued to portray his support for Tornado Cash developers Alexey Pertsev and Roman Storm, who have been accused of money laundering.

According to him, developing software for privacy should be “a totally legal and legit way to fight for privacy.”

Despite these challenges, Buterin remains optimistic, hoping for “positive clarity” in Storm’s upcoming trial in the U.S. He continues to champion privacy, touting its importance for “common people” and not just nefarious actors.

Snowden believes the case against Tornado Cash is “deeply illiberal and profoundly authoritarian.” He voiced sentiments similar to Buterin’s, asserting that “privacy is not a crime.”

Following Vitalik’s donation, the campaign received multiple smaller amounts in ETH, with accompanying messages like “justice finally comes.”
