Doj leaves the door open to the accusation of VC Pro in the Tornado Cash case star-news.press/wp

The Federal Public Prosecutor allowed to sit that the Ministry of Justice still overlooks Tom Schmidt from Dragonfly, before the court immediately asked to close the comment. The Tornado Cash case is now the investment capital in a few expected ways.

According to the newspaper “Fox Business” on July 25, the newspaper “Fox Business” Eleanor Teret, the Prosecutor of the Ministry of Justice in the Open Court, revealed that criminal charges are still considered against Tom Schmidt, the general partner of Crypto Venture Dragonfly.

American lawyer Thin Rin, whom he revealed during the Tornado Cash Roman Storm trial, was presented, where emails were presented between Schmidt, the founder of Dragonfly Haseeb Qureshi, and Storm as a guide. One of this stock market has shown that the founders are looking for notes on the implementation of KYC measures, details that complicate the government’s listing to facilitate the deliberate money laundering.

The Tornado Cash trial intensifies, and the responsibility of the investor occupies the center of the lead

It seems that the interest of the Ministry of Justice in Tom Schmidt stems from the role of the dragonfly as a supporter of the basic project in Tornado Cash and from the internal communications that public prosecutors may argue in showing a deeper participation of overseeing model investment.

Email messages presented in the court reveal that Schmidt and Dragonfly founder Haseeb Qureshi participated directly with Tornado Cash founders, even discussing customer applications (KYC).

This complicates the government’s claim that developers have deliberately made money laundering, because it proposes efforts to explore compliance. However, it seems that the prosecutors are testing a new theory: that financial supporters can bear responsibility if the tools of their portfolios have been used at a later time, even if investors have never controlled the protocol operations.

Ren’s request to close his note on the accusations of potential firmness that alludes to the sensitivity of the Ministry of Justice about its strategy. Surface, this may indicate continuous investigations or the desire to avoid public perception prematurely before the fees are completed.

It also emphasizes the high risks of Chamidt, who, through the summons of the fifth amendment, indicated that he believes that his testimony had been exposed to prosecution. He pushed the defense for immunity to force his novel, and his opinion as a major witness to confront the account of the Ministry of Justice. Without his testimony, Storm loses an opportunity to highlight the Dragonfly consultative role, which could help founders of criminal intention allegations.

The effects of this experience exceeds this experience. If the Ministry of Justice is following Schmidt or other dragon figures, it may put a precedent that will calm down the investment in privacy tools or open source projects on a large scale. Investors may demand unprecedented supervision of technical decisions or avoid completely controversial sectors.

Meanwhile, Romanian storm and co -defender Roman Siminov faces charges, including conspiracy to commit money laundering and violations of penalties, which carries a prison sentence with a maximum of 40 years in prison. The Ministry of Justice claims that they have enabled criminals, including the Lazarus Group in North Korea, despite the developers insisting that Tornado Cash was just a neutral infrastructure.
