US authorities are determined to convict Tornado Cash founder Roman Storm on two serious charges following a jury deadlock in his four-week trial last year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The 12-member jury found Storm guilty of conspiracy to operate unlicensed money transmitting business, but was unable to reach a verdict on the charges for conspiracy to commit money laundering and conspiracy to violate sanctions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In a letter to U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Katherine Polk Failla dated March 9th, federal prosecutors <\/span>say<\/span><\/a> the government wants a second chance to convict Storm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n They are requesting the court to set a date for the retrial preferably to begin on or around October 5th or October 12th.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAs the Court knows, on August 6, 2025, a jury found the defendant guilty as to Count Two of the Superseding Indictment and failed to reach a unanimous verdict as to Counts One and Three. The Government intends to retry the defendant on Counts One and Three and expects that the retrial will last approximately three weeks.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n In a post on the social media platform X, Storm <\/span>says<\/span><\/a> the government is again trying to make writing code a crime.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe 2 counts = up to 40 years in federal prison.\u00a0 For writing open-source code. For a protocol I don\u2019t control. For transactions I never touched. A jury already couldn\u2019t agree this was criminal. But the SDNY prosecutors want to keep trying with the hope of getting a different answer.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Storm is now <\/span>raising <\/span><\/a>$250,000 for his legal defense funds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cEvery dollar raised goes directly to keeping this fight alive \u2014 attorneys, experts, the full defense apparatus it takes to stand up to the SDNY prosecutors. This isn\u2019t abstract. If I can\u2019t fund a defense, they win by default.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Follow us on X<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> and Telegram<\/a><\/span><\/em>  <\/p>\n Generated Image: Midjourney<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" US authorities are determined to convict Tornado Cash founder Roman Storm on two serious charges following a jury deadlock in his four-week trial last year.\u00a0 The 12-member jury found Storm guilty of conspiracy to operate unlicensed money transmitting business, but was unable to reach a verdict on the charges for conspiracy to commit money laundering […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":421851,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[173],"tags":[201,248,251,246,257,255,250,252,247,253,249,256,254],"class_list":["post-421847","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-others","tag-blockchain","tag-bsc","tag-chainlink","tag-coin","tag-cryptocurrency","tag-gta","tag-looks-rare","tag-oracle","tag-polygon","tag-quickswap","tag-safe-moon","tag-wallet","tag-wordpress"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dripp.zone\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/421847","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dripp.zone\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dripp.zone\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dripp.zone\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dripp.zone\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=421847"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dripp.zone\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/421847\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":421852,"href":"https:\/\/dripp.zone\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/421847\/revisions\/421852"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dripp.zone\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/421851"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dripp.zone\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=421847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dripp.zone\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=421847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dripp.zone\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=421847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
