BlockBeats News, July 25th, according to crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett, Tornado Cash co-founder and developer Roman Storm's latest trial update, Assistant Prosecutor Rehn revealed that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) apparently is still considering bringing charges against an unspecified number of DragonFly's employees, not just limited to DragonFly's General Partner Tom Schmidt.

Dragonfly is the venture capital firm behind Tornado Cash, and yesterday in court, emails between Roman Storm and Dragonfly's General Partner Tom Schmidt were presented, including one email showing Storm and his team seeking feedback on adding KYC to the platform. The defense had sought Schmidt to testify, but he invoked the Fifth Amendment right through his lawyer (right to refuse to testify). The trial will continue next week, with more information expected at that time, and closing arguments are also expected to take place next week.
