🚨 DOJ Cites Bitcoin Fog Ruling to Block Roman Storm’s Acquittal
US prosecutors are using a recent appeals court victory against Bitcoin Fog to fight Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm’s bid for acquittal. The DOJ filed the supplemental authority on Monday, arguing that the recent ruling strengthens their case in New York.
The Bitcoin Fog decision confirmed that a user's activity in a specific district is enough to establish "venue" for a trial. Prosecutors argue that because Shakeeb Ahmed used Tornado Cash from his Manhattan apartment, the Southern District of New York has proper jurisdiction over Storm’s money-laundering and unlicensed money-transmission charges.
