Since our statement on Friday, we've received overwhelming support from across the crypto, tech, and venture communities. We want to sincerely thank you all for standing behind us.
The DOJ has now backtracked. They have stated on the record in the trial Monday morning that the media reports that they were planning to bring charges against Dragonfly were inaccurate, and neither Dragonfly nor any of its principals are targets in their investigation.
The DOJ's public statements on Friday in open court—that Dragonfly, as investors, could face prosecution merely for backing an open-source privacy technology—was not only unprecedented, it was a clear violation of DOJ policy. They are never allowed to speculate on prosecuting a third party in open court in front of the media. The prosecutors did this to prevent us from testifying for the defense. But even the notion that an investor could be charged would have induced a chilling effect on investment into blockchain and privacy-preserving technologies.
We sincerely thank you all for your support. With that behind us, the focus should remain on Roman Storm's trial, which is now nearing closing arguments as soon as this week. Its outcome will have massive implications for open-source software and privacy rights in America.
We are hopeful that the American judicial system will get this right.

Dragonfly于2020年8月投资了PepperSec, Inc.,即Tornado Cash的开发者。我们之所以进行这项投资,是因为我们相信开源隐私保护技术的重要性。在我们投资之前,我们获得了一份外部法律意见,确认Tornado Cash的构建符合法律,遵循了FinCEN在2019年给出的指导。
政府现在在公开法庭上表示,他们正在考虑对Dragonfly提起指控,理由是其在2020年投资了Tornado Cash团队。
在律师的建议下,我们一直未作公开评论。但我们再也无法保持沉默。
我们深信美国人有隐私权,而隐私权的缺失仍然是加密货币最大未解决的问题之一。因此,我们支持我们的投资。我们没有对Tornado Cash进行操作或行使任何控制权,也没有与任何恶意用户接触,我们始终鼓励我们的投资组合公司遵循法律,并且我们坚持认为Tornado Cash本身有合法存在的权利——这一观点得到了Van Loon诉财政部及OFAC随后撤销制裁的支持。在这种情况下,因投资组合公司的所谓不当行为而对风险投资公司提起指控将是前所未有的。
在2023年,我们收到了DOJ的传票,并已全面配合政府对Tornado Cash的调查,确信我们始终遵守法律。DOJ已明确表示,我们并不是他们调查的目标。与每项投资一样,我们向PepperSec提供了与我们为所有投资组合公司提供的相同建议和支持。
我们认为政府今天在法庭上的声明主要是为了削弱Tornado Cash的辩护——使辩护方更难让Tom上庭作证。
经过这么长时间——多年后——对Dragonfly提起指控将是令人愤慨的,违背事实和法律,并将对美国所有对加密货币和隐私保护技术的投资产生寒蝉效应。
我们不相信DOJ会真正提出如此荒谬和毫无根据的指控。但如果他们这样做,我们打算积极为自己辩护。
