U.S. prosecutors are seeking a retrial in October for Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm on two unresolved criminal counts.Summary
U.S. prosecutors have requested a federal judge to schedule a retrial for Roman Storm, a co-founder and developer of Tornado Cash, on two remaining criminal charges. The original trial in August resulted in a conviction on one count of operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business, but the jury was deadlocked on the other two charges related to money laundering sanctions violations. Storm, currently released on bail, argues the prosecution is attempting to criminalize code writing, citing a U.S. Treasury report acknowledging legitimate uses for crypto mixing services. His defense team believes setting a trial date before a pending motion for acquittal is premature, with oral arguments scheduled for April 9th.
