Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm requests the judge to overturn the conviction

BlockBeats news, on October 2, according to DL News, Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm has requested a federal judge to dismiss the charges against him since his high-profile criminal trial ended in August. Storm's not guilty plea comes exactly eight weeks after a jury found him guilty of conspiracy to operate an unregistered money transmission business. The maximum sentence for this charge is five years in prison. However, the jury was unable to reach a consensus on the most serious charges of conspiracy to commit Money Laundering and evade sanctions. The cumulative maximum sentence for these two charges could reach 40 years, and the prosecution has yet to decide whether to retry Storm. Storm's lawyer has requested the judge to acquit him on all three charges, arguing that the evidence presented during his three-week trial could not prove Storm had criminal intent, and that the case should not have been tried in New York.
