AFAIK, the dev is already in the jail and the last update they made was August last year with an existing problem with their code. I think tornado cash is long gone and this new website is just made by someone trying to use the brand with their own gain.

I think this new tornado cash hype is due to the news that the dev is considered to be set free.

I reckon you do not understand how this works. The smart contracts are immutable and cannot be censored, only the frontend is censored. Anyone can still connect and mix their coins with the smart contract directly.

I didn’t said that smart contract is fake. What I’m telling in my post was the original tornado.cash brand is long gone since the dev is already on the jail. The project is being taken care of by someone and this was being watched by government.

I don’t know if using the current service is worth the risk knowing how this project was already under the watch of the government.

Using the frontend will certainly be a risk, however, I am not very sure if using Tornado Cash by connecting directly to the smart contracts is safe or not after the sanctions by the American government. There were some news articles that reported some hackers continue to use it. It might be safe but will you take the risk? Clearly we would not hehehe.
