DOJ Disputes Roman Storm’s Characterization of Tornado Cash Operations in New Filing

The DOJ charged Storm, alongside fellow developer Roman Semenov, with conspiring to commit cash laundering, conspiring to function an unlicensed cash transmitter and conspiring to violate sanctions legislation by creating and working Tornado Cash, a crypto mixing service designed to anonymize transactions. North Korea’s Lazarus Group and different felony entities have laundered funds by way of Tornado Cash, U.S. authorities have alleged.
