Scenario description
Assume that by 2027-03-31, a federal court in the Roman Storm/Tornado Cash criminal case approves, enters, or sustains a substantive trial-stage outcome that materially applies prosecutors’ mixer-facilitation theory. The outcome occurs in the U.S. federal criminal case against Roman Storm and accepts that Tornado Cash deposits or operation can facilitate money laundering, sanctions evasion, or a related conspiracy by enlarging the pool of obscured funds, even if some users had legitimate purposes. The precise sentence, forfeiture amount, compliance obligations, and any appeal status are not assumed unless stated in the resolving source.
