TechFlow news, June 16 — According to Protos, U.S. prosecutors have filed a motion to block Roman Storm, founder of Tornado Cash, from calling expert witnesses, claiming their testimony would "waste the jury's time" and "confuse" jurors regarding privacy, token economics, and KYC. The case has evolved: the Department of Justice has dropped the "unlicensed money transmitting" charge but retained the money laundering charges, and has ceased referring to Tornado Cash as a "financial institution." Storm warned, "If I lose, DeFi dies with me." The Ethereum Foundation has contributed $500,000 toward Storm's defense and will match up to $750,000 in community donations, emphasizing that "privacy is normal, and writing code is not a crime." The trial is set to begin in less than 30 days.
