🛑In the Turkish city of Izmir, an Argentine programmer known as fede_intern, who develops infrastructure for the Ethereum network, has been detained. According to him, authorities accused him of facilitating illegal operations within the blockchain network, which led to his arrest.
Fede_intern insists that his work was purely technical — he built tools and infrastructure without directly engaging in any unlawful activities. The programmer expressed willingness to cooperate with law enforcement and is confident he can prove his innocence. Currently, he is receiving legal support and plans to leave Turkey to secure his safety before revealing all the details of the incident.

This story quickly sparked intense discussion within the crypto community. Many users doubt the validity of the charges and point out the absence in Turkish legislation of a clear offense covering the creation of infrastructure for Ethereum operations. Some suggest the arrest is due to a misunderstanding of blockchain technology specifics or a misinterpretation of the programmer’s actions.
On the other hand, the developer insists the situation is real and that he is not making it up. He promises to share all details once he is safe and able to speak openly about what happened.
This case raises important questions about the legal regulation of cryptocurrencies and related technologies in different countries. So far, in most jurisdictions, law enforcement in the blockchain space remains ambiguous and often depends on the interpretation of specific actions.
🌐 For developers and participants in the crypto ecosystem, such incidents are a serious signal of the need to improve legal literacy and work towards international regulatory standards.
