Federal prosecutors have asked a Manhattan judge to retry Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm on money-laundering and sanctions-evasion charges, which a jury deadlocked on last August. This comes as the White House has previously indicated openness to pardoning another crypto privacy developer for similar conduct. Prosecutors have requested a retrial date of October 5 or 12, consistent with the defense's indicated it was available. The government intends to try Storm on counts one and three of the superseding indictment, which carry a combined maximum sentence of up to 40 years. Cybercrime consultant David Sehyeon Baek has warned that the timing of the retrial appears to be an attempt to create a precedent for holding open-source developers responsible for what strangers do with their code.
