DeFi Education Fund Urges Trump to Halt DOJ’s Tornado Cash Case Against Roman Storm
The DeFi Education Fund has called on the Trump administration to intervene in the criminal case against Roman Storm, co-founder of Tornado Cash. In a letter to White House crypto czar David Sacks, the group criticized the DOJ’s prosecution as an overreach that threatens innovation in open-source software development.
Storm faces charges for allegedly facilitating the laundering of over $1 billion through the crypto mixing service. The Fund argues the case sets a dangerous precedent for developers working on privacy-focused technologies.
