US authorities are determined to retry Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm on charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering and sanctions violation. This decision follows a previous four-week trial where a jury found him guilty of operating an unlicensed money transmitting business but could not reach a verdict on the more severe charges, leading to a deadlock.

US authorities are determined to convict Tornado Cash founder Roman Storm on two serious charges following a jury deadlock in his four-week trial last year. The 12-member jury found Storm guilty of conspiracy to operate unlicensed money transmitting business, but was unable to reach a verdict on the charges for conspiracy to commit money laundering.
