Alexey Pertsev, the developer behind Tornado Cash, has been convicted of money laundering by a Dutch judge at the s-Hertogenbosch court.
The trial followed an indictment that stated Pertsev had engaged in a pattern of money laundering between July 9, 2019, and August 10, 2022.
The prosecution argued that Pertsev should have had suspicions about the illicit origins of transactions on the Tornado Cash platform.
