According to PANews, court documents from July 10 reveal that Roman Storm, co-founder of Tornado Cash, may request a brief delay in his upcoming criminal trial if a judge permits testimony from a hacker allegedly using the platform. Storm's legal team has petitioned the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York to exclude the unnamed witness, as prosecutors disclosed their identity after the agreed deadline. The witness is accused of conducting a hacking incident and using the Ethereum mixer to launder funds and conceal their activities.
Storm's attorneys argue that the testimony could provoke juror anger, unfairly influencing their perception of the defendant. If the court denies the motion to exclude, they reserve the right to seek a postponement. Storm's trial is scheduled to commence on July 14, with a decision on the witness motion expected by the weekend. Jury selection is set to begin next Monday under Judge Katherine Failla.#TornadoCash #RomanStorm #TrialDelay #WitnessTestimony #Hacker #Ethereum #Laundering #Court #USDistrictCourt #JurySelection #ETH

According to BlockBeats, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed two civil forfeiture complaints seeking to confiscate $15.1 million USDT stolen by North Korean hackers in 2023. The stolen cryptocurrency is linked to the North Korean military hacking group known as Advanced Persistent Threat 38 (APT38), which targeted four overseas virtual currency platforms in 2023. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) seized these funds in March 2025 and is now seeking court approval to forfeit the assets and return them to the victims.
Efforts to trace, seize, and forfeit the stolen virtual currency continue as APT38 members persist in laundering funds through various virtual currency bridges, mixers, trading platforms, and over-the-counter dealers. Additionally, the DOJ announced on Friday that four U.S. citizens and one Ukrainian national have pleaded guilty to aiding North Korean IT workers in fraudulently obtaining employment at U.S. companies by providing stolen identities and hosting company laptops at their homes, creating the false impression that these workers were based in the United States.#DOJ #forfeiture #USDT #NorthKoreanHackers #APT38 #cryptocurrency #FBI #virtualcurrency #cybercrime #laundering #stolenfunds #cybersecurity #FBIseizure #fraud #identitytheft #employmentfraud #internationalcrime
