Roman Storm’s trial on money laundering and sanctions charges begins on Monday, with $1.96 million raised to cover legal expenses so far.
Roman Storm, the co-founder of the crypto mixing service Tornado Cash, has asked for help to raise an immediate $500,000 ahead of his trial on Monday on charges of money laundering and sanctions violations.
Storm posted on X on Saturday that he faces a “critical shortfall” and needs to raise $500,000 in the next few days, and will need another $1 million within the next few weeks to cover the cost of his legal battle.
“My team is working nonstop to defend code as free speech, protect software development, and push back against government overreach that threatens us all,” he added.
