As the great Soviet machine once did, the American juggernaut churns on, consuming all in its path. And now, its sights are set on Roman Storm, the embattled co-founder of Tornado Cash. The prosecutors, those stalwart defenders of the state, seek to silence the whispers of crypto kidnappings and torture, to keep the truth from prying eyes. 🤐
Jay Clayton, the interim New York Attorney and former Securities and Exchange Commission Chair, has petitioned Judge Katherine Failla to block certain testimony, to keep the shadows cast by Tornado Cash from growing too long. He requests that the judge “preclude evidence and arguments based on privacy rights,” a clever ruse to keep the truth at bay. 🚫
But what of the witness, Matthew Green? Will he be allowed to speak of the venture capitalists who fear association with criminal activity? Or will his words be silenced, like the whispers of a dissident in a Soviet prison? 🗣️ Clayton argues that Green’s testimony would be “inflammatory and prejudicial,” a convenient excuse to keep the truth from the jury.
The trial, a grand spectacle of justice, continues with the prosecution’s case. A Taiwanese crypto investor took the stand on Tuesday, followed by a crypto dispute lawyer on Wednesday. The lawyer, a partner at McDermott Will and Emery, spoke of the hack that befell BitMart in 2021, and how Tornado Cash was contacted in the aftermath. 🤔
Justin Bram, a former associate of Tornado Cash, also testified on Wednesday, speaking of the mixing service’s features and its ability to geo-block countries facing sanctions. The defense team will no doubt address the allegations of sanctions violations, but will they be able to pierce the veil of deceit that surrounds Tornado Cash? 🕵️♂️
As the trial continues, the world watches with bated breath. Will Roman Storm be found guilty, or will the truth finally be revealed? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the machinery of justice will continue to churn on, consuming all in its path. 🤖
