Crypto Bro’s Wild Ride to Prison: NY Judge Sends Tornado Cash Mastermind Packing, Trial Set for December

A illustration depicting Roman Storm in handcuffs being led away by two officers as he looks back at the New York City skyline with a courthouse looming large behind it; below them, a faint image of Tornado Cash's logo is seen amidst swirling storm clouds and lightning bolts.

Just when you thought the crypto world couldn’t get any more lit… Roman Storm is headed to trial for allegedly aiding in laundered cash through that lovely Ethereum mixer, Tornado Cash. Because what’s a few billion dollars of dirty funds between friends? The judge thinks there’s enough evidence to move forward with this case, which I’m sure will delight the crypto bros who still think they can outsmart the law.

About the author

Barry Thompson

Barry’s crypto nightmare began when he bought Bitcoin at $3, thinking he’d stumbled upon the financial opportunity of a lifetime. He sold his stash at $100, only to watch in dismay as Bitcoin soared to absurd heights. Now, Barry channels his rage into scathing articles about the crypto circus, seething with resentment at the digital gold rush he barely missed. His motto: “I sold out at $100, but the joke’s on me because the real joke was believing in this absurd circus.”
