SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 5 – Roman Storm is
charged using his
cryptocurrency mixed Tornado
Cash to help launder money for
North Korea's hackers in the
Lazarus Group.
On September 6,
2023 he was arraigned before
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Katherine Polk Failla.
Inner City Press was there - thread:
Cash helped North
Korea's hackers Lazarus
Group...There will be
discovery from GitHub
On December 5,
Judge Failla docketed the
trial schedule: "SCHEDULING
ORDER as to Roman Storm, Roman
Semenov. It is hereby ORDERED
that the following trial
schedule will be in effect:
Trial will be set to begin on
September 23, 2024, at 9:00
a.m." Full scheduling order on
Patreon here
On March 29,
2024, Storm through counsel
submitted motions to suppress
and to compel discovery,
including into MLATs with The
Netherlands, and FinCEN and
OFAC communications.
Memo/motion on Patreon here
On July 5, a
court holiday, Storm's lawyer
filed an opposed request for a
delay into 2025 of the trial:
"We write on
behalf of our client Roman
Storm to respectfully request
that the Court grant a
continuance of the trial date
from September 23, 2024 to
late January or February 2025.
This is Mr. Storm’s first
request for an adjournment of
his trial date. The government
opposes a continuance. The
defense has been preparing
diligently for trial; however,
to ensure Mr. Storm has a fair
trial, an adjournment to early
2025 is necessary." Letter on
Patreon here.
The case is US v.
Storm, et al., 23-cr-430
