Made it over to the Roman Storm trial today to see how it stacks up to watching the other great crypto cases: SBF vs. USA Do Kwon vs. USA Alex Mashinsky vs. USA This case is very different, and importantly, could directly implicate Ethereum’s roadmap moving forward 🧵 ⬇️
Storm is facing a number of charges tied to his Tornado Cash money mixer, which was utilized (among others) by North Korea to funnel stolen funds from various crypto hacks The prosecution today walked through expert witness testimony. The defense stumbled through their part
The jurors seemingly followed through the government’s explainers on how Tornado functioned and how they chose to leave a door open for state-sanctioned actors The defense got shut down by the judge on more than a few points and appeared rattled from the beginning of the day
The government only has a couple more witnesses and could rest their case as early as today or tomorrow Roman Storm has not decided whether or not he is going to testify The defense may only need 3 or 5 days, so not far off Full video recap coming to @coinage_media
