This is what the prosecution in the Netherlands is claiming about Tornado Cash as a Software tool: > About the concerns, the development of a tool is not prohibited, but if a tool has been created for the sole purpose of committing criminal acts, for example, to conceal criminal flows of money, then putting online/making available a developed tool may be punishable I guess it all depends on what the bar is on a Dutch court of law to prove that criminal intent, if the developer's defense can successfully argue that the code was made to be generally used for the purposes of privacy rather than made deliberately to be useful to criminals, maybe he can get off the hook. I'd personally draw the line at providing the service rather than the code itself; if there's any relation to the criminals using the service (e.g. direct payment for the service, kickbacks) that's different from merely putting the code on Github for whoever may benefit from it. The Netherlands goes further it seems.
