[U.S. Prosecutors Cite Bitcoin Fog Precedent to Support New York Trial of Tornado Cash Defendant Roman Storm] Odaily Planet Daily reports that Bitcoin News posted on the X platform, stating that U.S. federal prosecutors informed Judge Katherine Polk Failla that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld the conviction of Bitcoin Fog founder Roman Sterlingov on September 25, supporting the trial of Tornado Cash defendant Roman Storm in New York. The appellate court ruled that Washington, D.C., had jurisdiction for the trial, citing that law enforcement had deposited approximately $250 worth of Bitcoin into Bitcoin Fog from Washington, D.C. Prosecutors argue that user Shakeeb Ahmed accessed Tornado Cash from his Manhattan apartment, making the same logic applicable. Roman Storm shared this letter and pointed out that FinCEN withdrew its 2023 proposal for mixer reporting requirements on the same day, citing concerns that the proposal might hinder legitimate activities.
