Arbitrum DAO removes proposal to fund Tornado Cash devs’ legal bills
An Arbitrum spokesperson confirmed that the proposal to fund Tornado Cash developers’ legal defense had been deleted at the author’s request.
The Arbitrum DAO has removed a proposal seeking to fund the legal defense costs of Tornado Cash’s developers.
The proposal sought to allocate nearly $1.3 million worth of ARB tokens from the community wallet in support of Roman Storm and Alexey Pertsev, the developers of the crypto mixer Tornado Cash. In addition, the budget could be used for public relations and advocacy efforts promoting privacy-preserving technologies.
Behind the initiative was the pseudonymous delegate DK, who submitted the proposal on March 7, calling for a “robust legal defense” for the developers. According to an Arbitrum spokesperson, the proposal was later deleted at the author’s request.
