    Roman Storm Speaks - Tornado Cash Developer on What’s at Stake

    📣DONATE TO ROMAN’S CASE https://juicebox.money/@defend-roman-storm  Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm faces decades in prison after being arrested last year for creating open-source privacy tools on Ethereum. His case could define whether code is speech, if developers are liable for bad actors, and if Americans have a right to digital privacy. With the full force of the U.S. government against him, Roman’s trial this April is a pivotal moment for digital rights. Bankless has contributed $50k to his legal defense—this is about protecting privacy for all of us. Roman Storm, alongside his lawyer, joins us to discuss The Tornado Cash case and what’s at stake. ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 2:36 Roman’s Spirits 3:58 Who is Roman Storm? 5:40 Why Tornado Cash? 7:06 House raiding experience  8:43 What Roman was charged with 10:00 Why Roman is not guilty  17:10 What’s at stake 22:31 How to help Roman 25:16 Closing & Disclaimers ------ RESOURCES  Donate to Roman’s Case https://juicebox.money/@defend-roman-storm DeFi Education Fund - Amicus Brief - https://www.defieducationfund.org/_files/ugd/84ba66_063f9d1fd563466cadfa3f5434f918e9.pdf ------ Not financial or tax advice.
