Roman Storm retrial delayed to April 2027

Share
  • A US judge delayed Roman Storm’s retrial from October 2026 to April 26, 2027.
  • The delay follows Storm’s pending request for acquittal on all three charges.
  • Two charges remain unresolved after a jury failed to reach verdicts in 2025.

A US judge delayed Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm’s retrial to April 26, 2027.

The retrial had been scheduled for October 26, 2026, but Storm’s acquittal request remains pending.

Judge Katherine Polk Failla granted the delay after Storm’s lawyers requested more time to prepare.

Prosecutors had opposed the delay, according to the court filing cited by Cointelegraph.

A jury convicted Storm in August 2025 for helping operate an unlicensed money-transmitting business.

Jurors could not agree on two other charges involving money laundering and US sanctions.

Storm said his acquittal request remains undecided, while the court now faces an April 2027 retrial date.
