The core question at the heart of the U.S. Department of Justice's case against Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm is whether he created software or controlled a service.

Keri Axel, also of Waymaker, added that Tornado Cash's user interface did not in itself control the transactions that users sent around. “That’s a lot.
