According to Protos, US prosecutors have filed a motion to block the appearance of expert witnesses for Tornado Cash founder Roman Storm, whom prosecutors describe as "Trojan horses" that waste jury time and confuse jurors' understanding of privacy, token economics, and KYC, meaning Roman Storm's defense team needs more time to respond to a trove of documents attempting to eliminate eight defense arguments. Prosecutors even opposed a two-day extension.
In addition, it is reported that the Department of Justice has dropped the "unlicensed money transfer" charges against Roman Storm, and no longer refers to Tornado Cash as a "Financial Institution Group", but keeps the money laundering charges. It is reported that the trial of Roman Storm is expected to begin in New York on July 14, and Vitalik and the Ethereum Foundation have expressed support for it.
