Judge pushes Tornado Cash co-founder trial to April 2025
Roman Storm, currently free on bail and facing three federal charges, will have another four months to prepare for his criminal trial.
Tornado Cash co-founder and developer Roman Storm won’t stand trial for money laundering and sanctions violation charges until April 2025.
In a Nov. 1 telephone conference for the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Judge Katherine Polk Failla ordered Storm’s trial adjourned until April 14, 2025. The Tornado Cash co-founder’s legal team had been petitioning to dismiss his charges, claiming they were based solely on him writing code for the cryptocurrency mixing service.
In 2023, prosecutors charged Storm and Tornado co-founder Roman Semenov with conspiracy to commit money laundering, conspiracy to commit sanctions violations and conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money-transmitting business. The indictment prompted outrage from many in the crypto industry.
