In a significant legal case, Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm will now face

Tornado Cash developer Roman Semenov.

Tornado Cash Developer Fails To Convince US Judge

According to US authorities, Storm and Semenov are two of three persons who
created, promoted, and operated Tornado Cash, a digital platform that has
facilitated over $1 billion in money laundering profit for several criminals
including prominent syndicates such as the Lazarus Group. For context, Tornado
Cash is a popular decentralized cryptocurrency• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта protocol that mixes multiple
assets to obscure the transaction trail of these funds. It has been previously
employed by hackers in siphoning ill-gotten gains.

In response to the charges against him, Roman Storm filed a motion to dismiss
claiming an infringement of his First Amendment rights among other arguments.
In a telephonic conference on September 26, US Judge Katherin Polk Failla of
the Southern District of New York struck out Storm’s request meaning the

developer will be subject to a full-scale legal trial.

According to Chief Legal Officer at DeFi Education Fund, Amanda Tuminelli,
Judge Failla explains that, in contrast to previous arguments made by the
defendant’s lawyers, maintaining control of the transactions on Tornado Cash
is not a requirement to run a money-transmitting business• Экономика » Бизнес according to Section
1960 of the US Constitution. The US Judge described Tornado Cash as not
dissimilar from other money-transmitting businesses.

Furthermore, Failla states that Storm’s defense which backs the creation of
Tornado Cash as a form of free speech via coding is fallible as the
functional capability” of code as a speech is not stated under the First
Amendment Rights Act. In conclusion, Katherin Failla clearly stated that the
matters raised by Storm’s lawyers are factual issues that should undergo a
trial. The US Judge said:

To the extent Storm is asking me to decide a controverted issue of fact, I am
not able to do that.
