Tornado Cash founder Roman Storm case: prosecution adjourns, defense initiates witness testimony

According to Crypto In America, the criminal trial of Tornado Cash founder Roman Storm has been adjourned by the prosecution on Thursday after eight days of witness testimony. The defense immediately began to present evidence, with the first witness being Ethereum developer Preston Van Loon. Van Loon stated that Tornado Cash is a tool built to meet privacy needs, aimed at protecting user identity and transaction security, despite some users using it for illegal purposes. In the next three days, the defense will continue to call multiple witnesses to refute the prosecution's allegations that Storm assisted and facilitated money laundering. It is reported that if convicted, Storm faces up to 45 years in prison.
