[Tornado Cash Co-Founder Roman Storm Requests Dismissal of Conviction] October 2 news, Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm has filed a motion with a federal judge to dismiss criminal charges. Previously, a jury found him guilty of conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business but failed to reach a consensus on more severe charges of money laundering and sanctions evasion. Storm's attorney argued that the evidence presented at trial was insufficient and that the case should not have been tried in New York. Prosecutors have yet to decide whether to pursue a retrial.
