According to ChainCatcher, as disclosed by Protos, U.S. prosecutors have filed a motion to prevent expert witnesses for Tornado Cash founder Roman Storm from testifying. The prosecutors claim they are 'Trojan horses' that would waste the jury's time and confuse jurors' understanding of privacy, token economics, and KYC, which means Roman Storm's defense team needs more time to respond to a large volume of documents attempting to eliminate eight defense arguments. The prosecutors even opposed extending the time by two days.
In addition, there are reports that the U.S. Department of Justice has dropped the 'unlicensed remittance' charges against Roman Storm and will no longer classify Tornado Cash as a 'financial institution,' but retains the money laundering allegations. It is reported that Roman Storm's trial is expected to begin on July 14 in New York, with support expressed by Vitalik and the Ethereum Foundation.
