Jury finds Roman Storm guilty of 1 of 3 counts in Tornado Cash trial
Following an extended period of deliberations, Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm has been found guilty of conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money-transmitting business, one of the three charges brought against him by the US. According to coverage from Inner City Press, the jury failed to reach a unanimous decision on the money laundering charge and on the conspiracy to violate US economic sanctions charge. US prosecutors then attempted to have Storm remanded to prison. They argued that his connections to Russia, his comments on cheating the immigration system, and the tens of millions of dollars worth of funds he owns all make him a flight risk. Judge: Let me see it… Deputy: Mr. Foreperson, Count 1, how do you find? Foreperson: Not unanimous. Deputy 2: Count 2? Foreperson: Guilty. Deputy: Count 3, IEEPA? Foreperson: Not guilty. — Inner City Press (@innercitypress) August 6, 2025 Read more: Roman Storm trial rocked by tracing errors and mistrial calls ...
