The Tornado Cash developer is slated to go on trial later this summer.
Storm’s lawyers asked the court to order prosecutors to turn over any potentially helpful evidence in their case against the developer.
Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm’s upcoming criminal trial has been pushed to April instead of a previously scheduled December start date, a New York judge ruled Friday.
The U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) case against Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm will proceed to trial, a New York judge ruled during a telephonic hearing on Thursday.
There was a lot of news last week, but maybe the biggest news came Wednesday when the U.S. Department of Justice arrested two co-founders of Samourai Wallet, a bitcoin wallet that offered mixing services. The arrest ramps up the federal government’s efforts to tamp down on what it sees as money laundering enabled by privacy tools, and sets up a continuation of that broader conversation on where the right to transact in privacy fits within national security interests.
The U.S. Department of Justice rebuffed Roman Storm’s motion to dismiss criminal charges against him late Friday.
