Tornado Cash’s Roman Storm case moves to trial as judge denies dismissal
Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm is eyeing a maximum of 45 years in prison if convicted of all charges, with a trial set for December.
Roman Storm, a developer and co-founder of Tornado Cash, will face criminal trial over his creation of the crypto-mixing platform after a judge denied his motion to dismiss a United States government case.
In a Sept. 26 telephone conference, New York district court judge Katherine Polk Failla denied Storm’s bid to toss three federal charges brought by the Justice Department, saying government prosecutors had lodged plausible allegations against him.
Storm and fellow co-founder Roman Semenov were charged last August with conspiracy to commit money laundering, conspiracy to commit sanctions violations and conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money-transmitting business.
