Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm's retrial has been postponed to April 2027 after a partial conviction on money transmitting charges.
Regulation & Gov ·
Roman Storm, a developer associated with Tornado Cash, faces a retrial scheduled for April 2027 following a partial jury verdict last year. Storm was convicted on one count related to money transmitting, though the jury could not agree on the remaining charges brought against him.
The postponement extends proceedings that have spanned multiple years, with the April date marking the new timeline for resolving the unresolved counts. The structure of the case—where jurors reached consensus on some allegations but remained deadlocked on others—necessitated the scheduling of additional trial proceedings to address the hung jury outcome.
The scope and nature of the charges on which jurors did not reach consensus remain subject to the retrial process. Whether any settlement discussions or plea negotiations occur before April 2027, or if the case proceeds to a full second jury trial on those counts, has not been specified in available reporting.
