Tornado Cash Dev Wants Charges Tossed after Appeals Court Nixes Sanctions

The developer of mixing service Tornado Cash is arguing that the criminal case against him should be thrown out after an appeals court dropped U.S. sanctions targeting his creation. Roman Storm co-founded Tornado Cash, which anonymizes cryptocurrencies by mixing them with others’ coins in a single pot and then divvying them back up to break the chain of custody traceable on blockchains. Its use by North Korean hackers led to the sanctions that were recently overturned.

Storm’s criminal trial is scheduled for April 14 in Manhattan’s Second Circuit. To continue reading this as well as other DeFi and Web3 news, visit us at thedefiant.io
