Developer Faces $1.2 bn Laundering Allegations At Tornado Cash
Dutch prosecutors have indicted Tornado Cash developer, Pertsev, for laundering $1.2 billion through 36 allegedly illicit transactions from decentralized protocols.
The indictment lists 36 transactions, alleging Pertsev was a co-perpetrator in laundering assets through the crypto mixer.
One of the alleged transactions involved a large sum exceeding 175 ETH, originating from Ronin Bridge, a cryptocurrency protocol linking Axie Infinity to the Ethereum blockchain.
Pertsev has denied violating money laundering laws since his arrest in August 2022. He was released in April 2023 after serving nearly nine months and was subject to ankle bracelet monitoring.
