Tornado Cash Developer Alexey Pertsev Appeals Guilty Verdict

Summary

Tornado Cash developer Alexey Pertsev has appealed against his conviction for money laundering at the s-Hertogenbosch court of appeal. The court has not confirmed if the appeal has been approved and the first hearing could take several months. Pertsev, who was sentenced to 64 months in prison, can request to wait for the appeal trial at home. The court found him guilty because Tornado Cash could be used by individuals with criminal assets to launder money.
