Juicebox Legal Defense Fund Update
Despite receiving over 700 individual payments, the Juicebox legal defense fund still needs around 195 ETH to reach its $1.5 million goal to cover the legal expenses of @rstormsf and @alex_pertsev, including trials. Earlier, the fund had raised approximately 358 ETH ($995k) but required 180 ETH ($500k) to meet the goal. The community is urged to donate ETH and spread the word to support the cause.

Last thing: you probably know that the Tornado devs are in legal trouble (if not, see @FreeAlexeyRoman). This legal case is really important for the future of our privacy and freedom. Please consider donating, or at least talk about it! 🙏 x.com/rstormsf/statu…
2024 is the year that will define the rest of my life. Honestly, I’m scared. But also hopeful that this community cares with a passion. Please donate towards my legal defense. wewantjusticedao.org
and even if we might have initial use case overlap with @juiceboxETH, it is important enough to note that you can still support alexey and roman's legal defense here: juicebox.money/@free-pertsev-…
I've never before reposted a fundraiser, but I want to call your attention to this one because it's a case that will set the future of the right to individual privacy in all of Web3, and the future of all open source development Consider sending these guys a little of your gains
The Ethereum community has shown their unwavering support for @rstormsf and @alex_pertsev. But they still need our help. Please donate and help spread the word: juicebox.money/@free-pertsev-…
So far we have raised ~358 ETH ($995k) on @juiceboxETH but we still need ~180 ETH ($500k) to reach our $1.5 million goal to cover @rstormsf and @alex_pertsev's 2024 legal fees including trials. Please donate ETH if you can and help spread the word: juicebox.money/@free-pertsev-…
The bad news? $30k in donations will no longer go towards @rstormsf's legal defense and we’re still only halfway to our goal of $1.5 million. The good news? The fundraiser on @juiceboxETH will remain open for donations and will not go away, no matter what.
3/ The @tornadocash devs legal defense team was kicked off GoFundMe and all donations will be returned. Team encourages everyone to use the decentralized version @juiceboxETH donation page instead, for obvious reasons... x.com/FreeAlexeyRoma…
Important campaign update: Yesterday, @gofundme notified the campaign organizers that the fundraiser for @rstormsf's legal defense was cancelled. They cite Term 22 of their terms of service, which can be interpreted to mean they simply didn’t like the fundraiser.
I donated via @gofundme because I trusted them, but they were kind enough to remind me that even the most trusted centralized platforms can still deplatform you w/ no explanation. Crypto solves this. I'll be donating again via @juiceboxETH. Join me. juicebox.money/@free-pertsev-…

We've now raised over $700k (300+ ETH) for @alex_pertsev and @rstormsf's legal defense. Over 600 members of the Ethereum community and beyond have come together to support our right to privacy and to publish code. Thank you all for your support. Open source is not a crime.
Over the last 3 days, we've raised over $485k (223 ETH) for @alex_pertsev and @rstormsf's legal defense from nearly 500 individual donors. We're so grateful for the amazing support the community has shown for Alexey and Roman. Open source is not a crime.
There are only 5 days left to fundraise for @rstormsf and @alex_pertsev's legal defense. We still need ~ 260 ETH to reach our target goal to cover all 2024 legal expenses including trials. Please consider donating ETH today and help spread the word.
Due to a bug in the creation of prop 493, prop 502 has been put forward by @onnnnnnnion to donate 40 ETH to @alex_pertsev and @rstormsf's legal defense. Prop 493 received overwhelming support and we hope that the @nounsdao community will come together again for Roman & Alexey.
.@nounsdao prop 493 has successfully passed with 74 votes in favour ⌐◨-◨ Thank you to the entire Nouns community for joining the fight for @alex_pertsev & @rstormsf's freedom. We are very grateful for your support. Code is speech.
The money we sent to @rstormsf was cancelled by @gofundme - they shut it down. I thought this might happen but am still surprised. Good thing we have an uncensorable money system so we can still fund civil liberties like the right to a fair trial. Resending $10k with crypto.
Bankless just sent $10k toward your legal defense @rstormsf. We encourage supporters of open source software to donate too - not just for Roman, but for our civic freedoms. We have to stop them here.
We’ve received overwhelming support with over 700 individual payments made so far but still need to raise ~ 195 ETH to reach our ~ $1.5M goal to cover @rstormsf & @alex_pertsev's 2024 legal defense including trials. (2/12)
