US Prosecutors Reject Tornado Cash Founder’s Defense Amid Push For October Retrial

US prosecutors have rejected Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm's defense, claiming his arguments for dismissal are not applicable. They refuted his comparison to a Supreme Court case involving an internet service provider, arguing Storm intentionally implemented weak measures to counter criminal use of the crypto mixer. Prosecutors are pushing for a retrial in October 2026 on two deadlocked charges from his initial trial, where he was found guilty of operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business. A key hearing on Storm's motion for acquittal is scheduled for April 9.

Crypto Policy Turning Point: Blockchain Devs Could Gain Legal Shield

A new bipartisan bill, the Promoting Innovation in Blockchain Development Act, has been introduced in the US House of Representatives to protect blockchain developers from being prosecuted as unlicensed money transmitters. The legislation (targeting Section 1960) would narrow the legal definition to apply only to those who actually hold or control users' digital assets—not developers who write code, maintain networks, or build platforms without handling funds. The push follows high-profile prosecutions, including the conviction of Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm and guilty pleas from Samourai Wallet founders. Crypto advocacy groups support the bill, arguing it will encourage U.S.-based innovation and protect neutral technology builders from being treated as financial intermediaries. A similar Senate bill was also introduced earlier this year.

OpenSea Insider Trading Case Ends Without A Retrial – Details

Former OpenSea product manager Nathaniel Chastain will not face a retrial for insider trading after federal prosecutors dropped the case. This follows an appeals court overturning his earlier conviction, citing incorrect jury instructions. Prosecutors reached a deferred prosecution agreement, leading to the dismissal of charges. As part of the deal, Chastain will forfeit approximately 15.98 ETH and has already served a three-month prison sentence. The case, the first insider trading prosecution involving NFTs, highlights a legal gap between traditional fraud statutes and digital assets. The ruling may influence how confidential information is treated as property in future crypto-related cases.

US Prosecutors Drop Retrial in OpenSea Insider Trading Case

US prosecutors have dropped their case against Nathaniel Chastain, a former OpenSea employee, following an appeals court reversal of his 2023 conviction for wire fraud and money laundering. The court ruled that the non-public information he used to trade featured NFTs did not constitute “property” under federal fraud statutes. Chastain had already served part of his sentence, including prison time, and agreed to forfeit approximately $47,000 in Ethereum. The dismissal, expected next month, marks a significant legal outcome regarding the application of insider trading laws to NFTs and digital assets.

Federal Prison No More: FTX’s Caroline Ellison Now In Community Confinement

Caroline Ellison, former CEO of Alameda Research and a key witness in the FTX case, was transferred from federal prison to community confinement on October 16, 2025, after serving approximately 11 months of a two-year sentence. Her early release is projected for February 20, 2026. The Bureau of Prisons moved her to either home confinement or a halfway house but did not disclose specific details. Ellison pleaded guilty in 2022 to charges related to FTX's $11 billion collapse and cooperated as a central witness against founder Sam Bankman-Fried, who received a 25-year sentence. The transfer follows standard procedures and has drawn renewed attention to sentencing outcomes for cooperating defendants.
