๐ Tornado Cash Trial Ignites Over... a T-Shirt?!
๐In a courtroom twist, focus shifted to a 2019 ETHBoston event where co-founder Roman Storm wore a shirt reading:
๐งบ โI keep my Ether clean with Tornado.cashโ โ featuring a washing machine image.
โ๏ธ Prosecutors say it proves he promoted money laundering
๐ Defense insists: โIt was a meme. A joke in poor taste.โ
๐งพ Charges against Storm include:
๐ธ Money laundering
๐ธ Running an unlicensed money transmitter
๐ธ Violating U.S. sanctions
๐ซ He wonโt testify.
๐งโโ๏ธ Trial heads into closing arguments this week.
๐ญ Was it just crypto humor... or a damning sign of intent?
