The Federal Judge, who oversee the prosecution of the Roman Storm, refused to order the Department of Justice to review his record for any material, which has missed which will help the tornado cash developer at the end of the 30 -minute hearing on Friday morning, although he said that the government should not disclose any disclosure.
Judge Catherine Polk Filla also ruled whether there was no concern for any Brady violation with the interaction of the Department of Justice with Financial Crime Enforcement Network (FINCEN) whether the mixer needed to register as a money transmitter – the conversation that the prosecutors were the prosecutors who chased the Samorai Wallet Developers with the Finnacne Officers, but the prosecutors did not say in the case.
If the judge found that the prosecutors withdrew the information, it could affect the matter of moving forward.
He said, “I do not require another review based on the representatives that have no additional material, and based on my ideas that I do not believe that the material was stimulating,” he said.
“There is a difference between the fact that it is something I want to know” and ‘This is a brady violation, “said,” Referring to an example of the Supreme Court, referring to an example of the Supreme Court, which requires the prosecutors to share any other information that can help a defendant with the defendant’s team. “
During the hearing, the defense lawyers of the Storm argued that they need to know when the prosecutors in their case have learned about the conversation.
Defense lawyer Brian Klein said, “They plan to say that they are charging a conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitter.” “My question is, with whom they should be licensed? … All this is in the same issue. They have dropped only one subpart … but they are still going to say that they are doing business of moneyless money.”
Prosecutor Thane Rehan, who works on the DOJ case against Sam Bankman-Fride, said that his team would not argue that the tornado is necessary to secure the license for cash.
He said, “The term ‘license’ does not apply here and the jury will not be instructed on licensing issues … The defendant who intends to prove in the test knew that they were transmitting funds received from criminals,” he said.
The judge asked the prosecutors at several points whether they planned to change any other principles or allegations in the leading weeks for testing, saying that it could be unfair to defense. The test has to be kicked in less than two months.
