BTCCSquare news:
The fate of Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm now rests with jurors following closing arguments in a high-stakes trial. Prosecutors allege Storm operated an unlicensed money-transmitting business while facilitating money laundering and sanctions violations—charges carrying a potential 40-year sentence.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Gianforti framed Tornado Cash as "a fancy online money launderer" designed to provide "privacy for criminals," specifically citing North Korea's Lazarus Group. Defense attorney David Patton countered that Storm never intended to aid illicit activity, comparing the crypto mixer to dual-use technologies like smartphones that serve both legitimate users and bad actors.
