Tornado Cash Developer, Roman Storm Defense Fund, sees the influx of donations when the software creator defense team is preparing for a possible re -attempt to allegations of money laundering and violations of sanctions.

Ethereum Foundation on Thursday he said It will be up to $ 500,000 for the Storm Defense Fund.

The jury in the Storm trial was stuck – unanimous to a unanimous sentence – in two of the three credits against him, recognizing the developer guilty of the unlicensed money transmitter.

“Mistrials through the suspended jury do not cause a double threat, so the defendant can be tried again,” said Cointelegraph, Brandon Ferrick, general advisor Douro Labs.

The management of the cryptocurrency industry and activists for digital rights stated that Wednesday’s verdict establishes a risky legal precedent for Open Source programmers in the United States and affects the development of protocols of maintaining privacy and decentralized finance.

Advocates weigh the probability of re -attempt

The Department of Justice of the United States (Doj) must decide whether he will re -count the first and third counting in the case, lawyers said Cointelegraph.

“I’m not sure what to expect here, because while Trump’s administration did lighter contact with the crypto, they generally maintained their criminal proceedings,” said lawyer Aaron Brogan.

“I think it is reasonable to say that the government may not bear the wrong number of money laundering, taking into account political attitudes,” said Ferrick from Douro Labs.

Both lawyers agreed that the appeal process would be the next main focal point of the case and expect that the Storm defense team will appeal against guilt.

“The use of Section 1960 to exceed the money under which he was convicted was extremely controversial over the past year,” said Brogan Cointelegraph.

Ferrick added that he expected Storm to appeal against guilt and fights with the accusation of “to the end”.

Storm asked for $ 1.5 million donations to his legal defense fund in July. “Legal costs increase rapidly and we urgently need your help,” he wrote in x post.
