He is also required to regularly report to the police.<\/p>\n<p>Blanc added that the judge allowed Pertsev to attend the ETH.DAM crypto event in May.<\/p>\n<h2>The Arrest<\/h2>\n<p>Pertsev is a Russian national who lives in the Netherlands with his wife. He was one of the lead developers behind Tornado Cash, which was sanctioned by the U.S. government in 2022 after various hacker groups used it to move their ill-gotten gains.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. claimed at the time that hackers had laundered more than $7 billion worth of stolen cryptocurrency through the crypto mixer in roughly three years since 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Following the sanctions, Dutch authorities <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/dutch-authority-says-arrested-tornado-cash-developer-suspected-of-involvement-in-financial-crimes\/\">arrested<\/a> Pertsev for his role in developing the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/arrested-tornado-cash-developer-reportedly-linked-to-russian-security-agency\/\">crypto privacy tool<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The arrest caused a furor among the crypto community, with many expressing shock and disbelief at someone being arrested for writing code. However, Dutch courts did not agree with the sentiment and greenlit a trial against the developer in August 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Two weeks after his arrest, the court ruled that Pertsev must spend <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/3-months-later-and-tornado-founder-doesnt-understand-his-accusation\/\">90 additional days<\/a> in jail <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/tornado-cash-developer-remanded-in-custody-another-3-months-without-charge\/\">pending his trial<\/a>.
