A federal jury found crypto developer Roman Storm guilty of operating an unlicensed crypto business but cleared him of sanctions violations and deadlocked on a money laundering charge.

Roman Storm was found guilty of conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business. The Tornado Cash founder is said to be mounting an appeal. Donations are already pouring in to back his appeal.

A jury could not agree on whether Storm helped launder more than $1B in dirty crypto, including for North Korea. They convicted on one lesser count.
