In an interview with CoinDesk, co-founder, Roman Semenov said that the team has little control over what its users do with the protocol as it's designed to be autonomous and outside of the control of developers.
“The protocol was specifically designed this way to be unstoppable, because it wouldn't make much sense if some third party [like developers] would have control over it. This would be the same as if someone had control over Bitcoin or Ethereum,” he told CoinDesk.Tornado Cash isn’t the first service to offer users the ability to mix, or tumble, their crypto.
However, Larry Dean Harmon, the service’s operator, pled guilty and the prosecution never had to prove its case, meaning there isn’t precedent that can say with certanty, “This is money laundering.”“Law enforcement usually knows that the developers don't have any ability to assist with an investigation or change the protocol,” he told CoinDesk.
Semenov said that the debate about the limits of digital privacy isn’t anything new. It’s always flared up any time new encryption technology has become available to retail users.
