TechFlow News: On April 8, according to Decrypt, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) formally rejected Roman Storm’s motion to dismiss the case against him—the developer of Tornado Cash—citing a recent Supreme Court copyright ruling. In a letter dated April 8 addressed to federal judge Katherine Polk Failla, prosecutors argued that the cited ruling concerned civil liability of internet service providers for user infringement, and thus is inapplicable to Storm’s criminal case, which alleges he knowingly failed to intervene as users employed the mixing service for money laundering. Storm was previously found guilty by a Manhattan jury of operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business; however, the jury deadlocked on two additional charges—conspiracy to commit money laundering and conspiracy to violate sanctions—and the Trump administration has requested a retrial on those counts.
