DOJ's case against Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm.

The latest development here was a letter filed recently from Roman's defense attorneys

saying recent disclosures in another similar case have raised concerns that prosecutors misled the judge

or were otherwise playing fast and loose. Break this down for all of us, non-lawyer minds.

What does this mean?

Okay. So I will just say as somebody who has been both a federal

prosecutor and a criminal defense attorney, I spend most, I've been spending my time over the last

decade fighting the government and making similar allegations. You're at a tremendous disadvantage

when you're in the defense side. I mean, the government usually has all the

cards and the prosecutors, you know, have a lot of advantages. One of the things that the defense

has, of course, is the ability to raise questions and lodge issues. And it's, I'd say, not surprising

that the defense team here has very, some very capable, well known, I would say

defense counsel, is trying to challenge disclosures made by the government. It's very important

on the defense side to knock the prosecution down a pig, because in court, the judge assumes

or presumes that the prosecution has their stuff

together and they know what they're doing and they what they're they're on the side of truth justice

in the american way and so it's always important to do that and i think the defense is usually in

the strongest position to do that when they're talking about disclosures and evidence that's been with help and things like that.

So that's often a defense motion you see in well litigated cases.

Okay, so business as usual, right? Right.

We're going to hear from the defense as much as I'm sure is possible before the trial begins in July.

Now, my question here for you is, you know, a lot of people in the industry are watching this trial closely.
