A federal jury found crypto developer Roman Storm guilty of operating an unlicensed crypto business but cleared him of sanctions violations and deadlocked on a money laundering charge.

Jurors found Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm guilty of conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business. But he dodged the most severe charges. A judge denied prosecutors' request to detain Storm.

A jury could not agree on whether Storm helped launder more than $1B in dirty crypto, including for North Korea. They convicted on one lesser count.
