During Roman Storm's trial, a T-shirt he wore at a 2019 crypto event sparked debate. The shirt, which promoted Tornado Cash's mixing service, claimed to 'wash' Ether, featuring a washing machine graphic. Prosecutors argued that Storm profited from a service that facilitated money laundering, emphasizing that he continued his activities even after realizing the implications. Storm's defense countered that the shirt was merely a meme and not indicative of criminal intent. They raised the T-shirt's relevance again while opposing a motion to exclude evidence of hackers using the service. The jury's perception of the shirt's meaning remains uncertain. Storm faces serious charges, including money laundering and conspiracy. His trial, which began with jury selection on July 14, is expected to last three weeks. After hearing from various witnesses, including FBI and IRS representatives, Storm's defense rested its case, and closing statements are anticipated soon. Critics argue that blaming developers for misuse of their technology is misguided. Read more AI-generated news on: https://app.chaingpt.org/news
