DOJ counters Tornado Cash developer’s motion to dismiss, citing national security concerns
**DOJ Strikes Back: Tornado Cash Developer’s Dismissal Plea Shot Down**
The Justice Department has unleashed a fiery response to Tornado Cash developer Alexey Pertsev’s attempt to dodge charges. The DOJ claims Pertsev’s arguments are a feeble attempt to escape accountability for his role in laundering a staggering $7 billion in crypto.
Not only that, the DOJ alleges that Pertsev’s actions have compromised national security by aiding North Korean hackers and other nefarious actors. The government is determined to deny Pertsev’s dismissal request and bring him to justice
