He was sentenced in May 2024 to 64 months for creating a service that hides transactions on the Ethereum network. Percev filed an appeal after a US court ruled that sanctions against Tornado Cash were illegal. He stated that the release gives him the chance to work on the appeal, although it is not full freedom.
