A Dutch court has sentenced Alexey Pertsev, the developer of cryptocurrency mixing tool Tornado Cash, to 64 months in jail after a panel of judges found him guilty of money laundering.
"The district court of Oost-Brabant has sentenced a 31 year old Russian, residing in Amstelveen, to an imprisonment of 5 years and 4 months. The court ruled that the man developed and maintained a software tool, called Tornado Cash, with which in total over 2 billion U.S. dollars was laundered," the court said in a statement Tuesday.
