DOJ invokes Bitcoin Fog ruling in potential blow to Roman Storm acquittal bid

regulatory

The DOJ cited the Bitcoin Fog case in opposing Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm’s bid to overturn his convictions, arguing that operating a crypto-mixing service can support criminal liability even without proof the operator controlled specific illicit transactions. The comparison may strengthen prosecutors’ position, though the cases involve different facts and Storm’s appeal remains unresolved. The broader implication is heightened legal risk for Bitcoin and other crypto privacy-service developers, particularly over how courts define responsibility for users’ activity.
