#Many in the crypto community have expressed outrage over authorities arresting #developers and other people involved in the development of Tornado Cash. Industry observers pointed out that charging code writers for creating privacy tools contradicts the principles of a free society.

The #Treasury's move has #triggered the rapid developments of events around Tornado Cash. According to some sources, a few more people supposedly involved in the mixer were also reportedly arrested in the United States and Estonia. 

Due to the #sanctions, it’s now illegal for any U.S. person or entity to interact with Tornado Cash’s smart contract addresses. Penalties for willful noncompliance can range from fines of $50,000 to $10,000,000 and 10 to 30 years #imprisonment.
