DeFi Advocacy Group Urges Trump to Stop Prosecution of Open-Source Developers

The DeFi Education Fund (DEF), a prominent crypto advocacy organization, has written directly to former President Donald Trump urging him to halt the ongoing prosecution against open-source software developers. The group emphasizes that prosecuting individuals solely for creating code without evidence of malicious intent undermines innovation and free speech principles. This appeal comes as Roman Storm, co-founder of Tornado Cash, faces legal action over alleged money laundering activities involving the decentralized crypto mixer.
