Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm asks judge to vacate conviction
October 2nd news, according to DL News, Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm has filed a request with a federal judge to dismiss the charges against him since his highly publicized criminal trial ended in August. Storm's plea of not guilty comes eight weeks after the jury found him guilty of conspiring to operate an unregistered money transmission business. The charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. However, the jury could not reach a unanimous decision on the most serious charges - conspiracy to launder money and evade sanctions. The cumulative maximum sentence for these two charges could be up to 40 years, and the prosecution has not yet decided whether to retry Storm. Storm's lawyer has requested the judge to acquit him of all three charges, arguing that the evidence provided during the three-week trial does not prove Storm had criminal intent and that the case should not have been tried in New York.
