Roman Storm’s potential retrial pushed back following court extension
Main Idea
Roman Storm's retrial has been delayed to late 2025 following a court extension, as he faces charges related to money laundering and sanctions violations in connection with Tornado Cash.
Key Points
1. A New York jury found Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm guilty of one of three charges, including conspiracy to commit money laundering and violate sanctions.
2. Judge Katherine Failla approved a schedule extending Storm's retrial deadline to December 18, 2025, as agreed upon by his lawyers and the US government.
3. Storm was indicted in August 2023 and pleaded not guilty; his co-developers, Alexey Pertsev and Roman Semenov, also face legal issues, with Pertsev already convicted in the Netherlands.
4. Semenov remains at large after being indicted alongside Storm in the SDNY case.
Description
After a New York jury found the Tornado Cash co-founder guilty of one of three charges he had been facing, US authorities still have the option of filing for a retrial.
