Criminal cases

Collection item

The U.S. government continues to pursue criminal charges against developers Roman Storm and Roman Semenov, even though the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) delisted Tornado Cash from its Specially Designated Nationals list in March 2025

Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm is scheduled to stand trial in July 2025 in the Southern District of New York on charges of money laundering, operating an unlicensed money transmitter, and sanctions violations

Alexey Pertsev, a Tornado Cash co-founder and developer, was convicted of money laundering in the Netherlands in May 2024 and sentenced to a 64-month prison term

Government efforts to blacklist Tornado Cash spurred privacy advocates to warn of regulatory overreach and prompted free-speech defenses, which a Manhattan judge later rejected
