According to CryptoSlate, the team of lawyers for Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm may request a brief adjournment of the trial as prosecutors plan to call as a witness a hacker who allegedly used the cryptocurrency mixing protocol.
Storm's defence team has filed papers in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking the exclusion of the unnamed witness on the grounds that the prosecution did not disclose the witness information until after an agreed deadline, arguing that the testimony could mislead the jury into believing Storm was involved in the hacking.
Storm's trial is scheduled to begin on July 14 and he faces charges of money laundering, conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmission business and conspiracy to violate US sanctions. A judge is expected to rule on the witness motion by the end of the week.
