The fundraising campaign on GoFundMe to cover legal expenses in the Tornado Cash cryptomixer case has been suspended. The platform, citing violations of its terms of service, will be returning all funds to the contributors.
GoFundMe has decided to halt further fundraising due to potential risks to the platform, its staff, and clients. Adhering to their own rules, the platform has prohibited the continuation of the campaign.
Within seven working days, all donors will have the $30,000 funds refunded to their accounts, as promised by the platform. Meanwhile, the fundraising efforts have shifted to the JuiceBox site, where donations have already surpassed $890,000.
As the legal battle with US federal authorities continues, Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm has initiated a new campaign to cover his personal legal expenses.
