Roman Storm was detained in August 2023. He was charged with laundering money, violation of US sanctions and conspiracy to manage an unlicensed system of money transfers. According to law enforcement officers, over $ 1 billion was washed through Tornado Cash. The amounts of funds illegally received by the North Korean hacker group Lazarus were included.
The lawyers of Roman Storm said that the client could not be in conspiracy with the money laundering the money, as it did not control the work of the cryptomyxer.
Earlier, the US Appeal Court of the Eleventh District of the United States rejected the appeal of the non -profit organization Coin Center, trying to challenge the decision to control foreign assets of the US Department of Finance (OFAC) on the inclusion of the Tornado Cash cryptomix in the sanctions list.
