During the eighth day of the trial for Roman Storm, co-founder of Tornado Cash, testimony from an IRS agent revealed that Storm had control over funds linked to the mixing service. Agent Stephan George examined transaction records from cryptocurrency exchanges and suggested Storm’s background enabled him to conduct thorough analyses yet did not qualify him to testify on cryptocurrency tracing. The prosecution contends that Storm could have modified Tornado Cash to disincentivize criminal activities, which is a pivotal point in the case. Storm is facing multiple charges including money laundering and conspiracy regarding his role with Tornado Cash, with the prosecution looking to conclude their case soon. Storm's defense plans to call multiple expert witnesses, potentially including two or three doctors and an expert from Chainalysis, to reinforce their arguments against the prosecution's claims.
