文章摘要

Alexey Pertsev was first jailed in the Netherlands in August 2022.

Tornado Cash developer Alexey Pertsev has been found guilty of money laundering by a Dutch judge ruled at s-Hertogenbosch court on Tuesday.

An indictment shared ahead of the trial said that between July 9, 2019 and Aug. 10, 2022, Pertsev made "a habit of committing money laundering" and that he should have at least suspected the criminal origins of illicit transactions on the Tornado Cash platform.

The developer was first jailed in the Netherlands in August 2022 after Tornado Cash was blacklisted by the U.S government. At the time, the U.S. Treasury had alleged that Tornado Cash was a key tool for the North Korean hacking group Lazarus. The Lazarus Group has been tied to a $625 million hack of Axie Infinity’s Ronin Network and other major crypto thefts.

The trial result could decide on future trials of other Tornado Cash developers. Other developers of the crypto mixer, Roman Storm and Roman Semenov, also face allegations of money laundering and sanctions violations in the U.S. Storm will go to trial this September, but Semenov has not yet been arrested. Storm was arrested last year, after the U.S. again added Tornado Cash to its sanctions watchlist.

In the U.S., however, Storm is not accused of being responsible for the laundering of $1.2 billion due to differences in how U.S. and Dutch laws address personal responsibility in this type of alleged crime.

谷歌亚马逊同时砸钱养竞争对手,AI时代最荒诞的商业逻辑正在成真

谷歌和亚马逊在四天内分别宣布向AI初创公司Anthropic投资250亿美元和最高400亿美元,总额达650亿美元。这两家云服务巨头罕见地共同押注同一家竞争对手,反映出AI时代下商业逻辑的根本变化。 投资实质是“算力预售”:Anthropic必须将绝大部分资金用于购买投资方的云服务和芯片,例如承诺未来十年在AWS上投入超1000亿美元,并使用谷歌提供的5吉瓦算力。此举旨在锁定Anthropic作为算力消耗大客户,保障自身产能去化。 核心原因在于,云市场竞争已从价格和稳定性转向“谁的云上运行最优模型”。微软早先通过绑定OpenAI占据先机,而Anthropic凭借Claude模型年化收入达300亿美元,成为企业市场中不可替代的非自研模型,因此成为谷歌和亚马逊必争的战略资产。 然而,Anthropic也面临三重挑战:在两大投资方之间的独立性受侵蚀、安全叙事因模型能力过强而承压,以及未来IPO可能带来的商业化压力。 对比中美AI发展,美国正走向“三极闭环”——微软-OpenAI、谷歌-Anthropic、亚马逊-Anthropic形成排他性绑定,而中国市场上DeepSeek等开源模型提供了一种替代路径,但其可持续性仍待观察。 整体上,巨头投资Anthropic并非单纯看好其估值成长,而是为了在AI重塑一切的浪潮中避免沦为“旁观者”。这张门票正变得越来越昂贵,且无人敢缺席。
