NY Prosecutors Dismiss FinCEN Opinion in Roman Storm Case as ’Irrelevant’

Prosecutors in the case against Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm are maneuvering to avoid a potential court order requiring them to disclose additional evidence that could bolster Storm’s defense. A Wednesday court filing revealed their resistance to defense claims of unfulfilled Brady obligations—constitutional mandates for prosecutors to share exculpatory evidence.

The legal skirmish centers on evidentiary parallels with the Southern District of New York’s case against Samourai Wallet founders Rodriguez and Hill. Both proceedings involve cryptocurrency mixing services accused of facilitating money laundering, though prosecutors contend the FinCEN opinion cited by Storm’s team holds no bearing on their argument.
