Since 2019, I have been a partner of the OKX exchange, recommended it to you and actively used it myself.

Until today, it worked honestly and stably.

But today, I regret to admit that the exchange policy and all the\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/fQiDRj6aHO<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/p>— Satoshi Friends (@slezisatoshi) August 8, 2024<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/blockquote>

Tornado Cash, which was established in 2019 by Roman Semenov, Alexey Pertsev, and Roman Storm, a group of Russian nationals<\/a> residing in Europe, is a company that specializes in the anonymizing cryptography. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology employs software to obscure the origins of cryptocurrencies deposited through the service, thereby redistributing deposits into a series of small transactions that are challenging to track. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For transactions involving Tornado Cash, Pertsev was sentenced to five years in prison in May 2024 for violating anti-money laundering laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tornado Cash, as well as Monero and Zcash, are classified as privacy coins<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> and have all encountered regulatory scrutiny. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tornado Cash, the mixer that is the most frequently used and the largest, has been accused of laundering stolen funds for international criminal organizations and of having connections to the Lazarus Group, an entity that the US government<\/a> has implicated in the financing of North Korea's nuclear program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
