> Storm suggested creating a version of Tornado with KYC / AML enabled, but Tornado’s unnamed venture capital investors were dismissive, saying, “I just don’t know if anyone will actually want this.” The investor added, “It would be unlikely as a fund that we’d use a ‘compliant mixer.’”
Doesn’t this directly implicate the investor as well?
It’s always frustrating to see founders punished and the money get away scot free when everyone knows they’re pressuring the founders to grow at all costs.
- ajross 3y agoThat sourcing of that paragraph is pretty ambiguous. My guess is that this is coming from the Romans' lawyers, and it's precisely that: an attempt at constructing a defense where they were just pawns of a bigger fish. And maybe it'll work, but given the context I'd apply salt until we have a name attached to the "unnamed venture capital investors" and some level of documentation of that conversation.
