In a final series of pretrial motions, the Tornado Cash developer's lawyers once again argue the government has produced a fatally flawed case.
Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm 's defense team has filed a new series of documents in an attempt to throw out the developer's trial before it begins.
"In fact, by the time criminals allegedly began misusing it, the Tornado Cash protocol was, as the government concedes, immutable and available to anyone with an Internet connection," the motion states. In other motions, Storm's lawyers argue that government prosecutors should be compelled to produce certain correspondence with authorities in the Netherlands and that the seizure of his cryptocurrency hard wallets constituted a "wholesale assault on the Fourth Amendment."
Storm's initial motion to dismiss found support in the form of amicus briefs from three crypto advocacy groups while his general cause has become championed among many crypto investors, who have collectively raised millions for Storm's defense.
