tornado cash co-founder seeks dismissal of charges after court ruling
Roman Storm, co-founder of Tornado Cash, has requested a federal judge to dismiss his criminal charges following a Fifth Circuit Appeals Court ruling that deemed sanctions against the platform's smart contracts unlawful. Storm argues that the court's opinion undermines the charges of conspiring to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, asserting that the smart contracts are not property of any foreign entity and cannot be sanctioned. He also contends that Tornado Cash is not a financial institution, further challenging the charges of operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business and money laundering conspiracy.
