Prosecutors Seek October 2026 Retrial for Tornado Cash Co-Founder Roman Storm
On 10 March 2026, federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York asked Judge Katherine Polk Failla to set an October 2026 retrial for Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm on money laundering and sanctions conspiracy charges. Storm, who was previously found guilty on one count related to operating an unlicensed money transmitting business, now faces up to 40 years in prison if convicted on the remaining allegations. The move comes as his defense pursues a Rule 29 motion and as regulatory and sanctions positions around crypto mixers and Tornado Cash continue to evolve.
