⚖️ ROMAN STORM VERDICT — THE PRIVACY CRACKDOWN BEGINS

In a landmark decision shaking the DeFi world, a New York jury has found Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm guilty of operating an unlicensed money transmitter.

❗ Acquitted on sanctions evasion

⏸ Deadlocked on money laundering

🔨 But still convicted — and that changes everything.

🧠 Why This Ruling Matters

👁️‍🗨️ Privacy vs. Prosecutors – Tornado Cash aimed to protect anonymity, but authorities see a shield for crime.

🧩 Regulation Is Catching Up – Innovation is running headfirst into legal walls. The need for clear DeFi frameworks has never been more urgent.

📌 What Comes Next?

Sentencing looms, but the message is clear:

Privacy tools = legal minefield.

Devs may shift to compliance-centric models like ZK-proofs or risk becoming the next headline.

This isn’t just about Roman Storm —

⚖️ It’s about whether privacy can survive in a world of regulation.
