Dragonfly invested into PepperSec, Inc., the developers of Tornado Cash, in August of 2020. We made this investment because we believe in the importance of open-source privacy-preserving technology. Prior to our investment, we obtained an outside legal opinion that confirmed that

Dragonfly, the VC that was the seed investor in the Tornado Cash team in 2020 got a legal opinion on Tornado Cash before they invested (at 3'40'' into the video). Tornado Cash devs worked on the protocol convinced they were staying on the right side of the law.

🚨NEW: Just caught Roman Storm 🇺🇸 🌪️ outside the courtroom. I asked how he was feeling. In a quiet voice, but with a noticeable smile, he told me: “It’s a big win. The ‘1960’ charge is bullshit and we’re going to fight it all the way. You know how President Trump said ‘fight, fight,

The Ethereum Foundation has generously offered to match up to $500k in further donations to support Roman's legal aid. Roman risks up to 5 years of jail time if he doesn't win the appeal, and potentially decades if the government decides to retry Counts 1 & 3.
