Tornado Cash Case Reaches Partial Settlement: Guilty of Operating Unlicensed Money Transmitting Business

By: theblockbeats.news|2025/08/06 18:11:55

BlockBeats News, August 7th, Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm's trial reached a partial verdict: the charge of operating an unlicensed money transmitting business was upheld, the money laundering conspiracy charge remains undecided, and the third charge (evading sanctions) resulted in a not guilty verdict.

Roman Storm faced trial in the Southern District of New York federal court, and this case could become a legal precedent on how much responsibility developers should bear when their created decentralized software is illegally used. The U.S. prosecutors accused Storm of money laundering conspiracy, violating U.S. sanction regulations, and operating an unlicensed money transmitting business. If convicted, he could face up to 40 years in prison.
