Crypto ‘control’ takes center stage at Roman Storm trial
With the trial of the Tornado Cash co-founder ending its eighth day, a witness testified Roman Storm had control over some of the funds connected to the mixing service.
US prosecutors in the criminal case against Tornado Cash co-founder and developer Roman Storm offered testimony from an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agent as they prepare to rest their case on Thursday.
According to reporting from Inner City Press on Wednesday, IRS Criminal Investigation Special Agent Stephan George testified he had reviewed transaction records connected to cryptocurrency exchanges Crypto.com and Binance.
George reportedly said that Storm “[had] control” over funds after an account connected to Binance sent crypto to Tornado Cash smart contract addresses, based on communications between the co-founders: Storm, Alexey Pertsey and Roman Semenov.
