BTCCSquare news:
A 12-person jury has been selected for the criminal trial of Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm, with opening arguments set to commence this afternoon in Manhattan's Thurgood Marshall courthouse. The panel, comprising seven women and five men from diverse backgrounds, will determine whether Storm conspired to commit money laundering, violate U.S. sanctions, and operate an unlicensed money-transmitting business.
The trial follows months of legal wrangling and is expected to last four weeks. Prosecutors aim to introduce communications between Storm and fellow developer Alexey Pertsev, though the defense contests the authenticity of some messages. The case could set precedents for cryptocurrency privacy tools and their legal boundaries.
