Roman Storm, developer and co-founder of Tornado Cash, will face a retrial on April 26, 2027 instead of October 26, 2026, after Federal Judge Katherine Polk Failla granted his request for a continuance pending his motion for acquittal.

Storm argues that prosecutors failed to prove he intended to help criminals misuse Tornado Cash.
