On July 18th, according to Cointelegraph, prosecutors in the Southern District of New York continue to file charges against Roman Storm, co-founder and developer of Tornado Cash, and the trial is expected to last for about a month. Assistant prosecutor Thane Rehn stated that the prosecution expects to conclude its statement of charges against Storm by the end of next weekend, after which lawyers for the co founders of Tornado Cash will begin summoning their own witnesses. Storm stated that he expects the trial to last "3-4 weeks" due to complex legal debates and unforeseen witnesses and evidence. Given that the prosecution is expected to conclude their case before July 25th, Storm's lawyer has revealed the defense strategy they will present in court. Before the trial began, Storm stated that he was unsure if his legal team would allow him to personally testify in court to defend himself.
