The judge said that she did not see any violations of the rules for disclosing evidence by the US Department of Justice and the charge will no longer say that the Tornado Cash service was supposed to receive a license to conduct transfers.
The US Ministry of Justice plans to prove that Roman Storm consciously transferred the funds received from cybercriminals. He must appear before the trial of July 14.
He is charged with a conspiracy to launder money, violation of the sanctions regime and transfer of funds received by criminal means. The storm was arrested in the summer of 2023, but later released $ 2 million and did not admit his guilt.
Tornado Cash developers received support from the crypto community. Their supporters say that the storm and another service developer Alexei Peretsev only created the program code and are not involved in the criminal activity that is associated with its use.
Earlier, the US Department of Finance Control of the US Department of Finance (OFAC) canceled restrictions on working with the Tornado Cash cryptocurrency mixer after analyzing new legal and political issues.
