\"\"<\/p>\n

US authorities are determined to convict Tornado Cash founder Roman Storm on two serious charges following a jury deadlock in his four-week trial last year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The 12-member jury found Storm guilty of conspiracy to operate unlicensed money transmitting business, but was unable to reach a verdict on the charges for conspiracy to commit money laundering and conspiracy to violate sanctions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a letter to U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Katherine Polk Failla dated March 9th, federal prosecutors <\/span>say<\/span><\/a> the government wants a second chance to convict Storm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They are requesting the court to set a date for the retrial preferably to begin on or around October 5th or October 12th.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs the Court knows, on August 6, 2025, a jury found the defendant guilty as to Count Two of the Superseding Indictment and failed to reach a unanimous verdict as to Counts One and Three. The Government intends to retry the defendant on Counts One and Three and expects that the retrial will last approximately three weeks.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

In a post on the social media platform X, Storm <\/span>says<\/span><\/a> the government is again trying to make writing code a crime.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe 2 counts = up to 40 years in federal prison.\u00a0 For writing open-source code. For a protocol I don\u2019t control. For transactions I never touched. A jury already couldn\u2019t agree this was criminal. But the SDNY prosecutors want to keep trying with the hope of getting a different answer.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Storm is now <\/span>raising <\/span><\/a>$250,000 for his legal defense funds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEvery dollar raised goes directly to keeping this fight alive \u2014 attorneys, experts, the full defense apparatus it takes to stand up to the SDNY prosecutors. This isn\u2019t abstract. If I can\u2019t fund a defense, they win by default.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
