On October 2nd, according to DL News, Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm has filed a request with a federal judge to drop the charges since his high-profile criminal trial ended in August. Storm's plea of not guilty came exactly eight weeks after a jury found him guilty of conspiracy to operate an unregistered money transfer business. The charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. But the jury was unable to agree on the most serious charges - conspiracy to launder money and evasion of sanctions. The two charges carry a cumulative maximum sentence of up to 40 years, and prosecutors have yet to decide whether to retry Storm. Storm's lawyers asked the judge to acquit him of all three charges, arguing that the evidence he presented during his three-week trial did not prove that Storm had criminal intent and that the case should not have been tried in New York.
