DeFi Education Fund’s legal chief said the prosecutors’ arguments against Roman Storm’s motion to dismiss were “filled with technical inaccuracies.”
The United States’ arguments to forge ahead on its case against crypto mixer Tornado Cash and developer Roman Storm show a “disdain for privacy” and include a few “egregious statements,” says DeFi Education Fund legal chief Amanda Tuminelli.
The Department of Justice on April 26 opposed Storm’s motion to dismiss conspiracy and money laundering charges which Tuminelli said in April 27 X posts were “filled with technical inaccuracies, obvious disdain for privacy and emerging technology, and misapplication of the law.”
Tuminelli highlighted on X one section where the DOJ said Storm argued that “misconduct through computer software is absolutely protected” and that crypto was “inherently beyond the reach of law enforcement.”
