Vitalik donates 100 ETH to Roman Storm defense fund
Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum’s co-founder, has donated 100 ETH (around $240,000) to help support Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm's legal defense. This is the third time Buterin has contributed, bringing the total raised for Storm’s defense fund to over 327 ETH (about $785,000). Storm has been facing charges after the U.S. sanctioned Tornado Cash in 2022 for allegedly facilitating money laundering. Storm expressed heartfelt thanks for Buterin’s ongoing support.
