⚖️ Developer or Banker? The U.S. Senate Engages in Heated Debate on 'Code Ownership'
The battle over the legal status of cryptocurrency developers has escalated again. U.S. Senators Charles Grassley and Richard Durbin publicly oppose the core provisions of the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act.
🤔 What is the controversy about?
The bill aims to establish a fundamental principle: writing code ≠ managing other people's funds. If you develop a decentralized protocol or mixer, as long as you do not directly control user assets, you should not be considered a 'Money Transmitter'.
🛡️ Senators' concerns:
Grassley and Durbin believe that this protection would leave a 'huge legal loophole' for criminals. They argue:
Mixer developers should be held responsible for how their software is used. Excluding developers from regulation would increase the difficulty of combating money laundering crimes. Law enforcement would find it harder to prosecute platforms that provide anonymous transaction services.
⏳ Why is it crucial now?
This controversy coincides with the critical period of the case involving Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm. Previously, a New York court found him guilty of operating an unlicensed money transmission business, although the jury has not reached a consensus on the money laundering charges.
If the senators' objections are adopted, developers of any DeFi protocol in the U.S. could be viewed as financial intermediaries by regulators, facing legal risks.
💬 What is your opinion: Should programmers be responsible for how others use their open-source code? Feel free to discuss in the comments!👇

🚨 $282 million massive heist follow-up: money laundering scandal emerges! 🚨
Blockchain security experts CertiK and FearsOff recently revealed the flow of funds in the January 10th case involving the theft of an anonymous hardware wallet. This case, which involves approximately $282 million, not only caused the victims to lose 1459 BTC and over 2 million LTC but also showcased extremely professional money laundering techniques.
🔍 Breakdown of core money laundering methods:
Cross-Chain Swap: The hacker utilized the decentralized exchange THORswap to convert the stolen $BTC into assets in the Ethereum ecosystem. Large disbursements: Approximately 686 BTC was exchanged for 19,600 ETH, which was then transferred to wallet 0xF73a...cc21, and subsequently split rapidly into multiple new addresses. Ultimate "obfuscator": The funds were ultimately transferred in amounts of approximately 400 ETH each into the privacy protocol Tornado Cash. Experts refer to it as the "master switch" for on-chain tracking, with minimal chances of recovering funds after mixing.
⚠️ Warning Reminder:
Blockchain detective ZachXBT pointed out that the hacker did not exploit a system vulnerability, but rather used social engineering tactics, disguising themselves as customer service to induce the victims to reveal their mnemonic phrases. This once again proves: while hardware wallets are secure, user security awareness is the real defense line.
💬 Interaction Moment:
In the face of such complex money laundering methods, do you think mixers (Tornado Cash) should be completely banned, or retained as a privacy tool? Feel free to discuss in the comments!

🚨 30-Year Prison Sentence For Crypto Mixer Founder
Roman Sterlingov, the mastermind behind the cryptocurrency mixer Bitcoin Fog, is fighting back against a hefty 30-year prison sentence after being found guilty on multiple money laundering charges.
Disputed Conviction and Sentence:
Sterlingov was convicted in March on charges that included money laundering, conspiracy, and running an unlicensed money transmitting business. Prosecutors allege he operated Bitcoin Fog from 2011 to 2021, helping to launder around $400 million in Bitcoin tied to illegal activities like drug trafficking and identity theft.
However, Sterlingov’s defense disputes the extent of his involvement, arguing that he wasn’t responsible for Bitcoin Fog's operations despite being linked to it. They also pointed out that key evidence—such as server logs, private keys, and ledgers—was never presented in court.
A Call for Fairness:
Sterlingov’s legal team argues that the proposed 20 to 30-year sentence is unjustified, especially when compared to similar cases that resulted in lighter penalties. They emphasize that the sentence should reflect his actual role, which they suggest was more about aiding and abetting rather than direct operation.
Judge Randolph Moss initially planned to sentence Sterlingov on August 21 but has decided to first consider the government’s forfeiture order, which includes 1,354 BTC still sitting untouched in a Bitcoin Fog wallet since 2012 and a possible $395 million judgment.

Garden Finance Hackers Move Millions to Tornado Cash
The plot thickens in the Garden Finance exploit saga! After draining millions in digital assets, the attackers have now transferred large sums to Tornado Cash, a privacy protocol often used to obscure transaction trails on Ethereum.
This move complicates ongoing on-chain investigations, as funds passing through Tornado Cash become much harder to trace a common tactic seen in recent DeFi exploits.
💡 Key Takeaways for Traders & DeFi Users:
Security Reminder: Always review project audits and on-chain activity before depositing funds.
DeFi Risks: Even established protocols can face vulnerabilities — diversification and risk management are essential.
Market Sentiment: These incidents often spark temporary FUD, but the broader market tends to recover quickly once exploits are contained.

TORN rises after US Treasury removes Tornado Cash from OFAC sanctions.
Friday, the US Treasury withdrew Tornado Cash addresses from OFAC sanctions.
The judgment may aid Tornado Cash creators in their DOJ case.
TORN rose 73% after the news.
After the US Treasury removed crypto mixer Tornado Cash from its OFAC sanction list, TORN rose beyond 70% on Friday.
Tornado Cash addresses deleted from US sanctions
OFAC removed crypto mixer Tornado Cash from its SDN list.
An update on the OFAC website states that Tornado Cash addresses have been removed from the SDN list, freeing the protocol from US restriction.
"We have exercised our discretion to remove the economic sanctions against Tornado Cash as reflected in Treasury's Monday filing in Van Loon v. Department of the Treasury," the US Treasury announced Friday.
Lazarus Group money laundering tactics continue to worry the Treasury.
OFAC banned US citizens from using Tornado Cash in 2022. Since its 2019 launch, the US Treasury said the network let hackers launder $7 billion in digital assets. North Korea's Lazarus Group and other hackers took these monies.
In 2023, the DOJ charged Tornado Cash co-founders Roman Storm and Roman Semenov for facilitating over $1 billion in Lazarus Group crypto transactions.
Tornado Cash co-founder Alexey Pertsev was convicted of laundering $1.2 billion in cryptocurrencies in May 2024 in the Netherlands. Pertsev received a 64-month sentence.
The US Treasury Department's delisting of Tornado Cash might affect the mixing platform's founders' DOJ lawsuits.
As the US crypto privacy landscape improves, privacy tokens and the DeFi industry benefit from the agency's decision.
The statement sent TORN soaring over 70% to regain $15. It led the privacy token industry with weekly gains of 100%.
TORN's increase is partly due to its $57 million market cap. Thus, minor purchase orders might rapidly change its price.
Tornado Cash's removal from OFAC's sanction list may boost privacy tokens in the coming days.

#InfiniHacked
🚨 Another Crypto Heist Shakes the Market! 🚨
Just when we thought the #Bybit saga was cooling down, BOOM—another shocker! This time, the target is Infini, a Hong Kong-based stablecoin digital bank, and the loot? A jaw-dropping $50 million in USDC!
According to security watchdog PeckShield, the hacker pulled off a textbook crypto heist. First, they snatched a private key, then drained $49.5 million in USDC in two batches—11.4M + 38M $USDC . What next? The stolen funds were swiftly swapped into DAI, funneled through the infamous Tornado Cash (because, of course!), converted to $ETH , and tucked away in a brand-new wallet.
The best (or worst) part? A sharp-eyed community member noticed the shady transactions and sounded the alarm on #PeckShieldAlert and the Infini’s security team traced the hacker’s tracks, the unthinkable happened—an inside job! An engineer was allegedly behind the whole scheme. PekShieldAlert also shared the swap and hack flow info in their official X account.
Now, with the hacker exposed, #Infini has filed a police report and is demanding the full amount be returned. The crypto world is watching—will justice be served, or is this just another digital Houdini act?
Let's keep our eyes on, because this story is FAR from over!

Ethereum Donates $500,000 to Defend Tornado Cash Developer – A Case That Could Change Everything
The crypto world is on edge. The Ethereum Foundation has stepped up to support the legal defense of Roman Storm, co-founder of the controversial Tornado Cash protocol, announcing a $500,000 contribution just days after a federal jury found Storm guilty on one count of a three-part indictment. He now faces up to five years in prison, and possibly more if prosecutors retry the other charges.
🧾 “Privacy is normal. Writing code is not a crime,” said Ethereum Foundation Executive Director Wei Wang.
Legal advocacy groups have warned that the outcome of this case could set a global precedent for open-source developers.
Charged for Writing Code? The Legal Battle Over Tornado Cash
Storm’s case stems from his role in developing Tornado Cash — a crypto mixer that enables anonymous transactions by blending users’ funds together. The U.S. Treasury claims that since 2019, the protocol has been used to launder over $7 billion, including funds allegedly moved by North Korea’s Lazarus Group.
Federal prosecutors painted Storm as someone who profited from concealing criminal activity, while his defense insists Tornado Cash was designed as a privacy tool for ordinary users, not criminals.
Are Developers Under Siege? Code at the Center of Legal Attacks
Many legal experts are raising serious concerns, warning that U.S. authorities may be overreaching by applying money laundering laws to developers who merely write open-source code and don’t control user funds.
A prominent crypto attorney called the verdict “a dark day for DeFi” and argued that Section 1960 should not apply to non-custodial protocol developers. He urged the courts to overturn what he sees as a dangerous legal misstep.
Meanwhile, Roman Storm has appealed for more support. In July, he requested an additional $1.5 million, citing rapidly escalating legal fees and a defense team working “around the clock” during the intense three-week trial.
Rising Pressure on Crypto Mixer Developers
This week, the founders of another crypto mixer — Samourai Wallet — pleaded guilty to similar charges. They now face up to five years in prison, with U.S. officials claiming the wallet was used to launder over $100 million, calling it a “haven for large-scale money laundering and sanctions evasion.”
Roman Storm’s ongoing legal saga is shaping up to be a landmark case for digital privacy, open-source development, and the future of permissionless technology.

#Whale Sudden Sell-off of $DAI to Buy $ETH - An Attractive Strategy! 🐋💥
Just 15 hours ago, a whale wallet address suddenly sold off 5,875,000 $DAI and used all of this money to buy ETH. The interesting part is that this #DAI has been accumulated since 2022, and only now has this whale decided to "All-in" on ETH.
Not stopping there, this whale also transferred 1000 ETH to #TornadoCash to shuffle the hash and erase all traces related to this amount of ETH.
Could this be a sign that this whale has started #bullish with ETH, deciding to buy in when prices are low? Or is this just a "winner takes all, loser goes to zero" strategy, full of risks? 🤔

Not stopping there, this whale also transferred 1000 ETH to #TornadoCash to shuffle the hash and erase all traces related to this amount of ETH.
Could this be a sign that this whale has started #bullish with ETH, deciding to buy in when prices are low? Or is this just a "winner takes all, loser goes to zero" strategy, full of risks? 🤔
