Tornado Cash co-founder seeks dismissal of money laundering charges

Roman Storm’s legal team claims the allegations are baseless.

Roman Storm, co-founder of cryptocurrency mixing service Tornado Cash, has officially dismissed all charges related to operating a money laundering scheme and violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. I requested it. His legal representatives argue that the charges are fundamentally flawed because Storm had no control over preventing sanctioned companies from using cryptocurrency mixers.

Defendant’s argument: There was no money laundering conspiracy.

Storm’s legal team filed the case in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 29, saying it would be unreasonable to consider Storm to have conspired to commit money laundering. They emphasized that Tornado Cash was already immutable and accessible to the public before being used by a hacking group approved by the U.S. Treasury Department. As a result, they allege, Storm was powerless to prevent the misuse of sanctioned entities at the time of the alleged misconduct.

Allegations centered on evasion of sanctions against North Korea

The allegations against Tornado Cache primarily concern its role in helping North Korea’s Lazarus Group evade U.S. sanctions and thereby support North Korea’s nuclear program. However, Storm’s lawyers argue that Tornado Cash was not a funds transfer business because it did not charge fees for fund transfers and users retained full control of their cryptocurrencies.

Legal precedent and ongoing crackdown

The incident unfolds amid a broader U.S. government crackdown on cryptocurrency mixing services. Recently, the founder of Bitcoin Fog, another cryptocurrency mixing service, was found guilty of money laundering of over $400 million. Despite the legal challenges, many in the cryptocurrency community continue to see the value of mixers due to their potential to enhance privacy and confidentiality in legitimate transactions.

Uncertain support from Arbitrum DAO

In a related development, Arbitrum DAO considered allocating approximately $1.3 million in ARB tokens to support Storm’s legal defense. However, this proposal was later withdrawn, and the reasons for its removal are still unknown.

conclusion

As the legal battle continues, the cryptocurrency community is watching closely, recognizing the case’s potential impact on the future of privacy and regulation in the digital asset space.
