DOJ Counters the Defense of Roman Storm in the Tornado Cash Case

Recently, the Department of Justice addressed Roman Storm’s defence claims about Tornado Cash.
Suspected of running a shady money-transfer agency, Roman Storm and Roman Semenov face charges.

Regarding Tornado Cash, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) has just responded to rate creator Roman Storm’s request. Storm made an effort to establish his innocence in court. The Department of Justice (DOJ) moved on Friday to have the jury decide on these facts rather than the defence team.

Roman Semenov, with whom Storm had a joint business, is one of the main figures implicated in an illicit money-transfer operation. They face charges of penalty law violations and involvement in a money laundering organisation. Storm will now make her court appearance in September, while Semenov remains free.

According to the defense attorney, the actual service administrators were the North Koreans that the Lazarus Group served. They said that there needs to be a clearer distinction between the platform coders and the platform operators in order to prevent money laundering. The Department of Justice claims that it has evidence that this website used Storm, which improved its web and user interface.

The Department of Justice has laid forth the procedures for submitting a procedure that describes how Tornado Cash works. Debuting in 2019, the service boasts several capabilities, such as relays and smart contracts. Storm, the central figure, was a leader attempting to preserve power, and these creation myths had a highly complex structure, but they were clear at first glance.

The DOJ’s paper challenges the claims that the technical portion and the customer experience division are distinct, and that there is no control mechanism in place for financial transactions. The screenshots played a crucial role in establishing the validity of the government cases. All of the foregoing is an effort to establish that Storm and the co-founders kept an eye on the mixer while it was running.

The core of the JMZ case is the proper rotation of roles among the performers. Some of the claims even went so far as to say the founders were boosters who made sure no one could see the transactions, in addition to being passive developers. Participants in this initiative included individuals the United States has sanctioned for criminal activity because of their involvement in these issues.
