Edward Snowden endorses legal defense fund for Tornado Cash co-founder facing money laundering charges

Edward Snowden, the whistleblower-turned-international fugitive, has endorsed the legal defense fund for Roman Storm, co-founder of the now-sanctioned cryptocurrency mixing service Tornado Cash. Storm is currently facing money laundering charges for his part in creating Tornado Cash, which was popular for allowing users to send and receive Ethereum anonymously. Snowden has asked his followers to help Storm, stating that privacy is not a crime. The fundraiser's website, called "We Want Justice DAO," has received 177 ETH, worth roughly $400,000 at current prices, and has received donations from Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and Bankless founder Ryan Adams.
