Crypto Reacts: Penangkapan Pemaju Tunai Puting Beliung yang Didakwa, Detik DAS
What’s the story around Tornado Cash? The U.S. Department of the Treasury made its case in a press release, but the question still lingers. Because, as many people have pointed out, Tornado Cash is not an institution. It’s a smart contract in the Ethereum blockchain and, according to US law, code is supposed to be speech. Are they challenging that? To make things even more suspicious, the Netherlands arrested an alleged Tornado Cash developer.
What is going on here? Was that man arrested just for writing code? How’s that possible? He didn’t launder that money himself… or did he? According to FIOD, the developer “is suspected of involvement in concealing criminal financial flows and facilitating money laundering through the mixing of cryptocurrencies through the decentralised Ethereum mixing service Tornado Cash.”
Itu boleh bermakna beberapa perkara. Ada lagi ke cerita ni? Adakah pemaju bersalah atas jenayah lain selain menulis kod? Atau adakah pihak berkuasa dunia memulakan perang habis-habisan terhadap privasi semasa kita tidak melihat? Sangat sedikit orang yang dapat menjawab soalan-soalan itu pada masa ini. Walau bagaimanapun, apa yang boleh kita lakukan ialah berunding dengan Twitterati dan lihat apakah sentimen umum di luar sana.
Privacy Is A Human Right Stani Kulechov, the Aave Protocol CEO, schooled regulators about the justified and legal use of privacy tools. “This arrest makes all privacy/encryption developers a target. The worst part is people use privacy tools on a daily basis online, because the internet is an unsafe place without privacy or encryption.” Bankless’ Ryan Sean Adams broke it down to the essential. “They put a man in jail because bad people used his open source code. This cannot stand in any free society” Shape Shift’s Erik Voorhees commented on the absurdity of the situation. “TC is not a person, nor a business entity. It’s an open source software tool. It cannot be sanctioned, it does not respond to subpoena or legal request.”The headline: "Treasury Sanctions Tornado Cash"
Reality: TC is not a person, nor a business entity. It's an open source software tool. It cannot be sanctioned, it does not respond to subpoena or legal request.
***Orang Amerika yang mencari privasi telah dikenakan sekatan.***

Matt Corallo, yang bitcoin core contributor who suspiciously went after bitcoin maxis recently, shared a call to action. “This is completely and totally unacceptable and needs to be fought in court, in lobbies in Brussels, and ultimately in ads for voters.” Controversial analyst and trader PlanB spoke for The Netherlands. “Dutch IRS doing dirty job for the US. Arresting an open source developer because “criminals” might have used the open source (!) software. A disgrace to my country and my hometown Amsterdam.” TORN price chart on Uniswap3 | Source: TORN/USDC on TradingView.com Bitcoin Maximalists Join The Fight Analyst and podcast guest of the year, Lyn Alden analyzed the case and provided the historical perspective. “In the early decades of the internet, when end-to-end encryption was developed, it was controversial. “Who would want privacy online, other than bad people!?” But of course this technology became a key pillar of safe online credit card payments. We all use it now.”Orang ramai menggunakan teknik privasi crypto sebahagian besarnya untuk menghentikan bursa/syarikat/orang lain daripada mengintip transaksi mereka yang berikutnya.
Mereka juga digunakan oleh kumpulan hak asasi manusia di bahagian autoritarian di dunia.

Podcast host Stephan Livera provided the metaphors. “Imagine if road builders were being arrested “because criminals use them”? Or home curtain installers? Wanting privacy should not be considered a crime.” Satoshi Act Fund’s Dennis Porter commented on… well, Satoshi. “Tornado cash dev was arrested which really goes to show how brilliant Satoshi was for remaining anonymous. He/she/they knew the powers that be would never let them live free.” Miscellaneous Considerations About Tornado Cash A pseudonymous Twitter user posed an enigma. “Tornado cash dev arrested – do kwon at home tweeting.” How is that possible? The Block’s Lucy Harley-McKeown showed us something cool. “This is a copy of the Tornado Cash smart contract, encoded as art.”People have started to make resistance art to protest the arrest of a Tornado Cash developer.

Tornado Cash used Vitalik as an example of justified behavior.“One of many valid use cases of privacy protocols: donating to a cause that might get you in trouble if done publicly.”Salah satu daripada banyak kes penggunaan protokol privasi yang sah: menderma kepada tujuan yang mungkin menyebabkan anda menghadapi masalah jika dilakukan secara terbuka https://t.co/LJM4Gd4dFf

Questions And Explanations About Tornado Cash Blockchain lawyer Jake Chervinsky asked the important questions. “I’ve spent all week on the Tornado Cash sanctions & haven’t heard a satisfying justification yet. The main argument is “criminals used it a lot.” Okay, but they use everything law-abiding citizens do.”2 kemungkinan yang berpotensi:
1) wang tunai puting beliung mempunyai volum material yang dikenal pasti untuk pengubahan wang haram. idk berapa anggarannya, tetapi mungkin 1-2bn? tiada siapa yang benar-benar menggunakan coinjoin pada skala sedemikian.
2) mungkin lelaki yang ditangkap itu bukan hanya seorang dev, tetapi sebenarnya membantu jenayah terancang.

Analyst and Internet personality Cobie offers two possibilities that would justify the U.S. Department of the Treasury‘s acts. “1) tornado cash had identifiable material volume for money laundering. idk what the estimate is, but probably 1-2bn? nobody really using coinjoin on such scale. 2) maybe the arrested guy was not just a dev, but actually assisting organized crime.”Tinggal bersama Bitcoinist for new developments in this fascinating new case.
