Tornado Storm money laundering

2023-08-24 02:04:59.297964+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

United States of America v. Roman Storm and Roman Semenov:

The Tornado Cash founders were aware of the Ronin Network hack on the day that tI was announced, and immediately recognized the likelihood that the hackers would use the Tornado Cash service to launder the proceeds. On or about March 29, 2022, ROMAN SEMENOV, the defendant, sent a message to ROMAN STORM, the defendant, and to CC-1 through the Encrypted App, saying "Have you seen a $600M hack today? Shit might seriously hit the fan now." SEMENOV then sent a link to a Tweet issued by the official Twitter account of the Ronin Network, describing the hack. Later that day, CC-1 sent a message to STORM and SEMENOV through the Encrypted App, saying "Heya, anyone around to chat about axie? Would like to ask a few general questions about how one goes about cashing out 600mil."

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
