Odaily News - Craig Timm, Senior Director of Anti-Money Laundering at the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS), stated that the Department of Justice seems to specifically point out the issue with the user interface in the Tornado Cash case, rather than the smart contract itself. He added that without the user interface, it seems unlikely for the Department of Justice to bring charges.
Former Financial Crime Prosecutor, Anand Sithian, mentioned that Tornado Cash's native token, TORN, is another complex factor. According to the indictment, the defendants profited from the services provided by Tornado Cash using this token.
The document cites messages exchanged between team members, allegedly discussing the necessity of raising the price of TORN. They converted the TORN they held into stablecoins, and Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm suggested that team members Roman Semenov and Alexey Pertsev create a new wallet and further transfer funds.
