Judge Katherine Polk Failla of the US Federal Court for the Southern District of New York ruled that the Van Loon v. Treasury decision, which found that "immutable smart contracts are not property", should not be mentioned in the criminal trial of Roman Storm, the developer of Tornado Cash. Storm faces up to 45 years in prison on charges including money laundering and sanctions evasion.
The judge found the legal precedent irrelevant and confusing to juries in a criminal case that will test whether developers should be held criminally responsible for the way the code was used, and the trial is scheduled for July 14 in Manhattan.
