Roman Storm’s Tornado Cash Retrial Pushed to April 2027

The adjournment extends a pivotal legal limbo, signaling that the court is not treating the developer's fate as urgent despite the broader regulatory stakes. For the crypto sector, this delay matters less for Storm personally and more for how long the question of liability for neutral code deployment remains unresolved. The undecided acquittal motion is the key pressure point—if granted, the retrial becomes moot, but if denied, the April 2027 date solidifies years of shadow over privacy tooling. Whether the court rules on that motion before the new term is the immediate signal to watch.
