Ruling to keep Tornado Cash developer in jail for 90 days sparks backlash

A judge in the Netherlands ruled that Tornado Cash developer Alexey Pertsev has to stay in jail for 90 more days while waiting for charges. Puzzled by the decision, the crypto community rallied to demand the release of the developer.

In a Tweet, crypto investo Ryan Adams argued that the developer did something good for the public as he wrote the code for Tornado Cash. The community member then highlighted that “a few bad guys” decided to use Pertsev’s code and now the developer has to suffer the consequences.
