The Trial Against Tornado Cash Developer Roman Storm: Everything You Need to Know

This is a fascinating recap of the Fed prosecution of Roman Storm regarding Tornado Cash automated mixing service relating to smart contracts, and you can see how he’s not getting quite a fair trial with the pig butchering woman as an initial witness being an emotional ploy on the jury and not really related. And it sounds like the chain analysis doesn’t quite measure up, and the government witness firm was found in discovery to be running a Tornado Cash relay where they took the fifth instead of providing a company employee to take the stand to be questioned by the defense. The government also intimidated a witness to take the fifth instead of taking the stand for the defense. But this is to be expected in a politicized case which has more to do with defeating ways and methods of people having financial privacy on public blockchains, and the government needs to track every financial transaction including digital assets.
