Prosecutors Urge Judge to Deny Tornado Cash Developer Roman Storm's Acquittal Motion in Crypto Case

Federal prosecutors have formally requested the court to reject Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm's motion for acquittal in the ongoing legal case. The prosecution maintains that Storm should face trial for his alleged role in operating the cryptocurrency mixing service, arguing that the government has presented sufficient evidence to support the criminal charges. This development represents a significant escalation in the U.S. government's legal actions against cryptocurrency privacy tools and their developers. The case is being closely monitored throughout the cryptocurrency industry as it could establish important precedents regarding developer liability for decentralized finance protocols.
