A U.S. court granted a three-month postponement in the case of Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm, despite the prosecution's objections. This decision came after a preliminary hearing where both sides presented their primary arguments.
Storm's legal team requested the delay, citing the vast amount of information (over a million pages of documents) that needs to be examined. Additionally, some of these documents are in Russian and require accurate translation to prepare an effective defense.
Additional time is needed because this case involves complex and novel legal and factual issues
Prosecutors argue that the allotted time greatly exceeds the average for similar cases, including those with even larger volumes of data. They believe the defense has not convincingly explained its lack of readiness for the trial.
Crypto industry representatives have praised Judge Failla's approach, noting her meticulous attention to the case details and emphasis on the critical issue of developer accountability for users' misconduct. However, the charges against Storm have not been dismissed.
