According to CoinDesk, the trial of Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm, originally scheduled for September, has been postponed to December 2nd by a US judge at Friday's hearing. Prosecutor Thane Rehn said the trial is expected to last two weeks.The core issue of the US Department of Justice's case against Roman Storm is whether he created the software or controlled the service. At Friday's hearing, Brian Klein, a defense lawyer for Waymaker LLP, argued that Storm no longer controlled Tornado Cash after May 2020 - during this time, Storm was accused by the Department of Justice of violating the law by running Tornado Cash.Waymaker's Keri Axel added that the Tornado Cash user interface itself does not control the transactions sent by users. The defense repeatedly emphasized that Storm did not control the pools of Tornado Cash, which are immutable, and therefore cannot be held criminally responsible for how people use the mixer.The judge did not make any decisions on Friday, saying that he will "quickly" rule on all motions.
