According to Eleanor Terrett, the first day trial of Tornado Cash co-founder Storm has ended. The jury is composed of 7 women and 5 men, with half of the members under the age of 31. In its opening statement, the US Department of Justice likened Tornado Cash to a "money laundering machine" and referred to Storm and its co founders as manipulators. But the defense argues that the prosecution failed to prove a direct connection between Storm and the criminals, emphasizing that it only developed an abused tool. The trial also mentioned that the government will summon hackers who have actually used Tornado Cash to testify. The defense team in the Tornado Cash case is well aware of the difficulty of convincing the jury, so they began to explain the technical details during the opening statement and plan to invite expert witnesses to appear in court, including experts specializing in explaining token economics. The case will continue tomorrow.
