Ben Zhou says Lazarus hackers used mixers, bridges, and swaps to hide funds.

After ignoring zkLend’s 10% white hat bounty offer, the hacker now claims their entire stolen stash was drained by scammers.

With Pertsev now under electronic monitoring, his appeal could set a precedent for how courts treat privacy-focused crypto developers.

TORN achieved its highest price since November, 2024, following a court decision overturning OFAC sanctions against Tornado Cash.

The donation bolsters Tornado Cash devs’ legal fund as Roman Storm awaits trial and Alexey Pertsev appeals a money laundering conviction.

The judges sided with users of the crypto mixing service, agreeing that code cannot be sanctioned, but people can. 

A fraudster targeting well-off crypto users revealed his group’s inner workings, including stolen databases and laundering tactics.

Judge Failla’s ruling emphasized that the government only needs to prove that Storm knew he was handling proceeds from a crime.

Penpie is negotiating a bounty with the hacker, offering immunity and anonymity if they return the stolen funds.
