The Tornado Cash developers are ordinary human beings. They have friends and families, and their lives are now forever changed because they wrote open-source code on the blockchain.

They arrested the developer of tornado cash. 🚨 I repeat: a man was arrested for writing code that served as a public good for people to maintain their privacy online. They put a man in jail because bad people used his open source code. This cannot stand in any free society.
