Today, Storm has filed a motion for acquittal on all counts. "Mr. Storm had no reason to believe that Tornado Cash was a money transmitting business," the motion states, and the Government presented no evidence to the contrary. Rather, the motion states, the evidence presented shows that Storm did not believe to have an obligation to register. Ergo, all three charges brought against Storm are overly broad in light of the First Amendment, and should be dismissed, the motion states. The Bitmart team had reached out to the Tornado Cash team as a result of its exploit for roughly $200 million in 2021 that was allegedly traced back to Tornado Cash.
