BlockBeats News, July 22nd, according to The Block, Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm's lawyer is considering filing a motion to dismiss the case, citing doubts about the evidence presented by the government. The defense points out that a victim of a rug pull scam, summoned by the prosecution, may never have used this privacy-focused cryptocurrency mixing tool.


As Storm's trial enters its second week, his defense lawyer David Patton has challenged the witness's claim that their stolen cryptocurrency was laundered through Tornado Cash. Witness Hanfeng Ling had previously testified that she fell victim to a rug pull scam in 2021 and was informed by a "cryptocurrency recovery service" that some of the funds flowed into Tornado Cash.


However, over the past weekend, Storm's lawyers stated that they could not trace Ling's funds to have ever entered Tornado Cash. Ethereum security expert Taylor Monahan posted on X platform (formerly Twitter) over the weekend stating that scammers would not use Tornado Cash at all.


In a series of posts, Monahan elaborated on why she believes the funds did not pass through Tornado Cash. "Based on my on-chain sleuthing, I already knew her funds didn't go through Tornado," Monahan said. "I have no idea what they were tracing. There was no Tornado Cash involved at all."
