TechFlow news: Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Semenov has been added to the U.S. Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) Specially Designated Nationals List. The move marks OFAC's first major action imposing sanctions on Semenov personally, and signifies an escalation in OFAC's investigation into Tornado Cash.
Prosecutors say Semenov remains at large. Another co-founder, Roman Storm, was arrested on Wednesday but has not been sanctioned by OFAC. A third Tornado Cash co-founder, Alexey Pertsev, was arrested in August 2022 in the Netherlands on related money laundering charges by Dutch law enforcement authorities.
