Tornado Cash Developer Alexey Pertsev Appeals 64-Month Sentence

**Tornado Cash Developer Appeals 64-Month Sentence** Tornado Cash developer Alexey Pertsev has appealed his 64-month prison sentence. The Dutch court previously found that Pertsev "had a history of facilitating money laundering" and that "he should have suspected criminal intent in illicit transactions" on the Tornado Cash platform. Pertsev's appeal is based on the argument that the court erred in its interpretation of the law. He argues that the Dutch court did not consider all of the evidence in the case and that the sentence is disproportionate to the offense. The appeal process is expected to take several months. It is unclear whether Pertsev will be successful in overturning his sentence. **Previously on [date],** Tornado Cash developer Alexey Pertsev was sentenced to 64 months in prison for facilitating money laundering.
