The U.S. Department of Justice will hold a retrial of Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm this fall.

PANews reported on March 10th that, according to a post by Amanda Tuminelli, Chief Legal Officer of the DeFi Education Foundation, the U.S. Department of Justice has decided to retry Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm this fall. In the initial trial, the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict on the money laundering and sanctions violation charges, finding him guilty only of operating an unlicensed money transfer business. Despite significant errors by the prosecution in the initial trial, including subpoenaing irrelevant witnesses, failing to understand the forensic analysis of its own blockchain evidence, and legal and logical flaws in the third-party developer liability allegations, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York has decided to retry the first and third charges in the indictment.
