Tornado Cash Developer Roman Storm’s Trial Delayed Until April
Summary
Roman Storm's criminal trial has been postponed to April, delayed from December, to resolve disputes over expert witness disclosures. Judge Katherine Polk Failla ordered the exchange of expert witness information, which Storm's legal team opposed, arguing it would prejudice the defense and possibly violate federal rules. The defense has filed a mandamus petition with the U.S. Court of Appeals to overturn the judge's order, with a hearing set for November 12. Storm faces charges related to Tornado Cash, including conspiracy to facilitate money laundering and violating sanctions, with potential penalties of up to 45 years in prison.
