Guess that makes every government money printer complicit in money laundering, seeing how the majority of it happens through cash.

It’s weird the crypto people think this is a valid argument.

If someone did what tornando is doing with physical cash, they would also be committing money laundering.

Tornado Cash is an anonymizer. Same as every cash drawer in every business. All kinds of money goes in - legitimate as well as illegitimate - and is mixed up together.

Does shuffling a bunch of currency notes together - some of which might be from a drug dealer - make you a criminal?

If your business only exists to shuffle money, then yes.
