big Virgil Griffith news: he's out of home confinement! earlier this year is when he got out of prison. if you're confused, it's a gradual process out of the prison system: prison -> halfway house -> home confinement -> probation So now he'll be on probation for 18-36 months, which means he can't leave his state without approval. plus he has some work restrictions which might make working in crypto difficult for the time being but otherwise he's free to live his life, and he's definitely very happy to be moving on ✌️

What the ever-living fuck. DoJ/FBI/SDNY/IRS-CI is trying to imprison Roman Storm—an American software developer—for decades because North Korea Gov used his software. And they introduced evidence supposedly tying their witness—a scam victim—to his Tornado Cash software... ⤵️

i'd be happy for the eth bros if they weren't so insufferable. i really want to cheer for them i just cant

The Government is persecuting Roman Storm and their expert witness claims that no regular people use VPNs. That product that every YouTuber has shilled for a decade now.

What a shitshow. The DoJ should be mortified they did not drop this case wholesale, they actually only kept the weakest and most overreaching part of the case 🥴

Update from U.S. v. Storm with @davidzmorris. Roman Storm's defense team has raised the spectre of a mistrial after an FBI tracing expert failed to confirm that the prosecution's first witness' stolen funds had in fact been sent to Tornado Cash.

Back at the @TornadoCash trial today. Will provide updates in this thread at the lunch break and at the end of the day.

In the century of communism, fascism, nationalism, pan-Islamism, secularism, and objectivism it’s pretty f**king clear that philosophy matters. Philosophy can kill.
