Host Tim O'Toole is joined by fellow Miller & Chevalier Member Leah Moushey to unpack the recent conviction of Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm for operating an unlicensed money transmitting business, an outcome that surprised many given the jury's deadlock on the more severe money laundering and sanctions charges.  

The discussion explores how this case reflects the evolving enforcement landscape at the intersection of crypto, DeFi, and national security. Tim and Leah delve into the broader implications of the verdict including challenges regulators face in applying traditional AML and sanctions frameworks to new technology, including decentralized platforms.
