A 12-member jury, including a 90-year-old member, deliberated on the case of Roman Storm, co-founder of Tornado Cash. They convicted Storm of running an unlicensed money transmitting business but were deadlocked on other charges related to money laundering and sanctions. The jury requested further information and transcripts of witness testimonies before announcing their deadlock. The foreperson indicated that some jurors were set in their opinions despite attempts to reach a consensus. The instructions to jurors emphasized that conspiracy elements are often unexpressed and not documented, contributing to their challenges in determining Storm's involvement. As of now, Storm's sentencing for the felony conviction has not been scheduled, and it remains uncertain if the government will retry him on the other charges. The case highlights the complexities surrounding legal interpretations of cryptocurrency activities.
