Odaily News The criminal trial of Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm officially began recently in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Prosecutors said in their opening statements that Storm assisted North Korean Lazarus Group hackers in laundering money using Tornado Cashs currency mixing service, suspected of violating U.S. sanctions orders involving approximately $600 million in crypto assets in the 2022 Ronin Bridge incident. Prosecutors said he knew it but continued to commit crimes.
Storms defense attorney countered that Tornado Cash is a privacy protocol for everyone and that he himself had nothing to do with the hacking and should not be held criminally responsible for users abuse of the tool.
