<aside> 💡 Blockchain developer Alex Pertsev was arrested by the Dutch police in Amsterdam on August 10 and being accused of creating open-source code that was developed for the Tornado Cash project and was misused for illegal activities by a 3d party, but a developer has no control whatsoever over how their open-source code is subsequently used.

<aside> ☝🏽 Therefore, the accusations against Alex threaten to kill the entire open-source software segment. No one will dare to write and publish open-source code, no one will invest in the segment if they could be made responsible for the use of the tool they created by other parties.
