Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm faces decades in prison after being arrested last year for creating open-source privacy tools on Ethereum. His case could define whether code is speech, if developers are liable for bad actors, and if Americans have a right to digital privacy.
With the full force of the U.S. government against him, Roman’s trial this April is a pivotal moment for digital rights. Bankless has contributed $50k to his legal defense—this is about protecting privacy for all of us.
Roman Storm, alongside his lawyer, joins us to discuss The Tornado Cash case and what’s at stake.
