Tornado Cash trial is now in the jury’s hands

Key Points

1. Government attorney Benjamin Gianforti argued Tornado Cash was used for illicit activities, calling it a story about greed.

2. Defense attorney David Patton stated Tornado Cash was designed to provide financial privacy, though he acknowledged its use by criminals.

3. Prosecutor Nathan Rehn dismissed the privacy argument as a 'cover story' and presented evidence of developers' awareness of criminal use.

4. The defense countered that developers did not profit from illicit activities, with earnings coming from TORN tokens, which lost value due to negative reports.

5. Jurors received charge instructions after two weeks of witness testimony.
