Roman Storm, co-founder of Tornado Cash, filed a motion to dismiss the criminal case, referring to a court ruling that declared sanctions against the platform's smart contracts unlawful. The court stated that Tornado Cash's smart contracts are autonomous and cannot be subject to sanctions, as control over the platform was lost back in 2020. Storm claims that these facts render the charges baseless. He faces up to 45 years in prison, and the trial is scheduled to begin on April 14, 2025.
