最新报道:Roman Storm's defense team has requested the judge dismiss charges against him, arguing the government may rest its case without proving key elements. The Tornado Cash co-founder faces allegations of money laundering and sanctions violations, but his lawyers claim prosecutors failed to show Storm operated the service or had control over its smart contracts. The motion highlights that merely writing code isn't illegal, comparing it to selling kitchen knives that could be misused. Prosecutors allege Tornado Cash processed over $1 billion in illicit funds, including for North Korean hackers, but the defense maintains Storm couldn't prevent such usage after the service became decentralized. The judge hasn't yet ruled on the dismissal request.
