The U.S. Department of Justice will retry Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm in the autumn after the first trial failed to secure a conviction. The Southern District of New York will pursue Counts 1 and 3, focusing on developer liability and on-chain activity. The case remains a key example in blockchain legal actions. New token listings continue to draw global regulatory attention.

ChainThink reports that on March 11, the U.S. Department of Justice decided to retry the case against Roman Storm, co-founder of Tornado Cash, this fall. Previously, prosecutors failed to convince the jury of a conviction during the first trial.


The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York will continue pursuing Counts One and Three of the indictment. The case centers on the responsibilities of third-party developers and blockchain-related evidence.
