In a significant development in the cryptocurrency sector, Roman Storm, the co-founder of the digital currency mixer Tornado Cash, has formally requested the dismissal of all charges against him. The allegations include running a money laundering operation and violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. In a recent legal filing dated March 29, with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, Storm's legal representatives have staunchly defended their client.
