Pleased to share that my client Roman Storm is already out on bail, although I remain very disappointed that the prosecutors charged him because he helped develop software - their novel legal theory has dangerous implications for all software developers.

U.S. prosecutors charged two individuals allegedly behind decentralized cryptocurrency mixer Tornado Cash, saying they conspired to launder illicit funds and to violate U.S. sanctions.

We are grateful the jury did not convict Roman for violating sanctions or laundering money. We will not stop fighting for Roman and expect him to be fully vindicated.

A jury could not agree on whether Storm helped launder more than $1B in dirty crypto, including for North Korea. They convicted on one lesser count.

Thrilled for my client Avi - from the beginning, we said this case was fatally flawed .

I care and appreciate this thoughtful take 👇.
Just put up a long Volokh post on an important criminal law case, Dubin v. US, that wll be argued at the Supreme Court on 2/27. If you care about the CFAA, this is a significant case to watch. A deep dive for the law nerds.
