The jury of Tornado Cash co-founded Storm is composed of 7 women and 5 men, half of whom are under the age of 31.

PANews reported on July 16 that, according to Eleanor Terrett, the first day of the trial for Tornado Cash co-founder Storm has concluded. The jury consists of 7 women and 5 men, with half of the members under 31 years old. The U.S. Department of Justice compared Tornado Cash to a "money laundering machine" in its opening statement, claiming Storm and his co-founders were the operators. However, the defense argued that the prosecution failed to prove Storm's direct connection to criminals, emphasizing that he merely developed a tool that was misused. The trial also mentioned that the government will call hackers who actually used Tornado Cash to testify. The defense is well aware of the difficulty in convincing the jury, and thus began explaining technical details in the opening statement, planning to invite expert witnesses, including experts who can explain token economics. The trial will continue tomorrow.
