A federal judge has permitted jurors in the trial of Roman Storm, co-founder of Tornado Cash, to hear evidence suggesting he could have altered the platform to prevent its use by criminals. Judge Katherine Failla rejected a defense motion to exclude testimony from Philip Werlau, an investigator from AnChain.AI, who claims Storm had the capability to implement features that could have deterred money laundering but chose not to. Failla stated that while the defense argues that a 'user registry smart contract' has not been utilized in the blockchain sector, Werlau can still discuss its potential implementation, given Storm's expertise. This marks the sixth day of Storm's trial, where he faces charges of money laundering and conspiracy related to Tornado Cash. The prosecution anticipates concluding its case by Friday, after presenting various witnesses, including hackers and FBI agents. Storm's case may differ from that of Alexey Pertsev, another co-founder convicted in the Netherlands, as the judge is considering the nuances of crypto-related charges.
