Gate News reports that on March 10, Amanda Tuminelli, Chief Legal Officer of the DeFi Education Fund, revealed that the U.S. Department of Justice has decided to re-examine Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm this fall. In the previous trial, the jury failed to reach a consensus on money laundering and sanctions violation charges, only convicting him of operating an unlicensed remittance business. Despite clear errors by the prosecution in the first trial, including summoning irrelevant witnesses, failing to understand blockchain forensic evidence, and legal and logical flaws in third-party developer liability charges, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York has decided to retry the first and third charges in the indictment.
