Over 65 Crypto Groups Urge Trump to Drop Charges Against Tornado Cash Developer Roman Storm
More than 65 cryptocurrency and blockchain advocacy organizations have petitioned President Donald Trump to dismiss remaining charges against Roman Storm, co-founder of Tornado Cash. Storm was convicted in August 2025 on one count of conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business, with two additional charges resulting in a partial mistrial. The groups argue the prosecution threatens open-source software development and call for regulatory clarity on decentralized technologies.
