**Breaking News: Roman Storm Set to Face Trial in New York!**

⚖️ Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm is set to face trial in New York on December 2nd in a money laundering case. U.S. District Judge Katherine Polk Failla denied Storm’s motion to dismiss three charges from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).

- **Judge Rejects Storm’s Defense**: In a remote hearing on September 26th, Judge Failla rejected Storm’s argument that his involvement was limited to writing the software code and not controlling its use.

- **Legal Argument**: According to Amanda Tuminelli of the DeFi Education Fund, the judge emphasized that the government only needs to prove that Storm knew he was handling the proceeds of crime, not that he conspired with users to carry out criminal activity.

- **Jake Chervinsky Reacts**: Jake Chervinsky of the Variant Fund called the ruling “an attack on the freedom of software developers everywhere” and a “perversion of the law.”

Storm, who has pleaded not guilty, is now set to face a trial that is expected to last two weeks. What do you think about the case? Leave your comments below! 👇
