The recently arrested co-founder of Tornado CashRoman Storm, has been released from detention and is now enjoying freedom on bail shortly after being apprehended by the Department of Justice (DOJ).
Brain Klein, attorney for Roman Storm, officially announced the bail approval on August 24 via his X (Twitter). This development comes a day after the Department of Justice (DOJ) in the United States detained Roman Storm on August 23 on charges including money laundering.
In response to the accusations, Klein expressed his ongoing “disappointment” regarding the prosecutor’s decision to charge the developer based on his involvement in software development.
Furthermore, Klein went on to stress that this unique legal perspective could potentially pose for all “software developers” moving forward.
The news swept through the crypto market like a wave when the U.S. DOJ revealed the arrest of Storm and Roman Semenov, the founders of Tornado Cash, on August 23.
Among the numerous allegations, the founders were specifically accused of operating Tornado Cash services and laundering more than $1 billion in “criminal proceeds.”
