The Manhattan jury deliberating the fate of Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm has hit an impasse, unable to reach a unanimous verdict on at least one charge. District Judge Katherine Polk Failla instructed jurors to continue discussions after prosecutors pushed for an Allen charge—a judicial nudge toward consensus.

Storm’s legal team proposed accepting a partial verdict, but the court sided with the prosecution. The jury’s meticulous scrutiny of procedural details, including venue justification, underscores the complexity of the case. Their requests for grand jury evidence and trial transcripts highlight the high stakes of this landmark crypto litigation.
