Tornado Cash Developer to Face Trial After Judge Refuses Dismissal

Roman Storm, a developer and co-founder of Tornado Cash, will face a criminal trial regarding his creation of the crypto-mixing platform after a judge denied his motion to dismiss the case brought by the United States government. In a telephone conference on Sept. 26, New York district court judge Katherine Polk Failla rejected Storm’s bid to dismiss three federal charges, stating that government prosecutors had presented plausible allegations against him. Storm and fellow co-founder Roman Semenov were charged in August with conspiracy to commit money laundering, conspiracy to commit sanctions violations, and conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money-transmitting business.
