Vitalik Buterin and the Ethereum community are advocating for the release of developers Virgil Griffith and Roman Storm, imprisoned over sanctions violations related to Tornado Cash.
Recent calls for action followed former President Trump pardoning Ross Ulbricht, prompting Ethereum supporters to urge similar relief for Griffith and Storm.
Legal challenges continue as the Ethereum community argues Tornado Cash, classified under sanctions, is software and should not be subject to such regulations.
