A federal judge has postponed Roman Storm's retrial to April 26, 2027, as the court weighs his pending motion for acquittal following his conviction related to the Tornado Cash cryptocurrency mixer. U.S. District Judge Katherine Polk Failla ordered the delay to allow time to consider the motion.
Roman Storm, convicted co-founder of cryptocurrency privacy protocol Tornado Cash, is challenging his conviction by arguing that Google and OpenAI should face similar liability since their AI tools are also used by the same North Korean operatives cited in the government's case against him.
US prosecutors rejected Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm's newest argument for case dismissal, stating a recent Supreme Court ruling cited by his attorneys was 'inapposite' to the case as Storm faces retrial on two charges.
