Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm’s retrial delayed to April 2027
Judge Katherine Polk Failla adjourned the retrial in light of Storm’s pending motion for acquittal and related request for a continuance.
The retrial of Tornado Cash co-founder and developer Roman Storm has been postponed from Oct. 26, 2026, to April 26, 2027, as a federal judge weighs his motion for acquittal.
US District Judge Katherine Polk Failla said in a Tuesday order that the retrial would be adjourned “in light of” Storm’s pending motion and his related request for a continuance.
Storm’s lawyers requested the delay on Aug. 3, saying they needed at least 90 days after the court rules on the acquittal motion to prepare for another trial. Prosecutors opposed an adjournment, according to the filing.
