The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has opposed a motion to dismiss and a motion to suppress evidence in a criminal indictment against Roman Storm, a developer associated with Tornado Cash, a service designed to anonymize cryptocurrency transactions. Filed on Friday, the DOJ argues that Storm's involvement extends beyond mere coding, highlighting the platform's use by entities like North Korea's Lazarus Group for money laundering. The case is seen as significant in the crypto community, with implications for privacy and the definition of money transmission businesses.
