Roman Storm facing retrial delay in Tornado Cash legal case

Roman Storm Retrial Pushed to Late 2025

Roman Storm’s legal battle over his role as Tornado Cash co-founder will extend well into next year after a US court approved a procedural delay that could push any potential retrial to December 2025.

Court Approves Extended Deadlines

In a filing to the US District Court for the Southern District of New York on Monday, Judge Katherine Failla agreed to a schedule proposed by both Storm’s defense team and federal prosecutors. The new timeline moves key deadlines far beyond the 70-day retrial window that typically follows a verdict.

According to the order, the court believes “the ends of justice” outweigh the need for a speedy trial, citing the defense’s need for adequate time to prepare post-trial motions.

Background on the Charges

On Aug. 6, a jury convicted Storm on one count of conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money business. Jurors were unable to reach a verdict on two other felony counts: conspiracy to commit money laundering and conspiracy to violate US sanctions. Prosecutors have not yet confirmed whether they will pursue a retrial on these charges.

Storm, indicted in August 2023, has been free on bail since his arraignment. His sentencing for the single conviction has not yet been scheduled.

Tornado Cash Developers Under Continued Scrutiny

Storm is not the only Tornado Cash developer facing legal challenges. Co-founder Roman Semenov, indicted alongside Storm, remains at large. Another co-founder, Alexey Pertsev, was convicted of money laundering in the Netherlands in 2024 and sentenced to more than five years in prison, a verdict he is appealing.
