The Tornado Cash co-founder case has entered the jury deliberation stage, which may redefine the legal responsibilities of developers.

BlockBeats news, on July 31, according to Cointelegraph, after the prosecution and defense completed their closing arguments on Wednesday, the jury will decide the fate of Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm, who is involved in a crypto tumbler service. Closing arguments are the final phase of the trial, where both sides summarize the case before the judge or jury, articulate their positions, and make final efforts to persuade the adjudicators to make a favorable ruling. Storm is currently on trial in the Southern District of New York Federal Court, and the case could set a legal precedent regarding how much responsibility developers should bear when their created decentralized software is used illegally. The U.S. prosecution accuses Storm of conspiracy to commit Money Laundering, violating U.S. sanctions, and operating an unlicensed remittance business. If convicted, he faces a maximum of 40 years in prison. The judge has issued final instructions to the jury, which has now begun deliberating the case.
