Storm defense eyes mistrial, citing testimony from Tornado Cash ‘victim'
Attorneys for Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm might move for a mistrial after learning prosecutors called a witness with a tenuous connection to the controversial crypto protocol. If the request were granted, Storm's criminal trial would end, though prosecutors could choose to retry the case with a new jury. It is a dramatic turn of events in a closely-watched trial entering its second week. Storm has been charged with conspiracy to launder money, operate an unlicensed money-transmitting business, and violate US sanctions. He faces 45 years in prison. Crypto proponents say a guilty verdict could have a chilling effect on the development of privacy preserving software and decentralised finance. Storm has raised millions for his defence from prominent donors including Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin. On Monday, David Patton, one of the attorneys for Storm, questioned the testimony of the government's first witness: Hanfeng Lin, a Taiwanese woman living in Georgia. Lin recounted falling for a so-called pig butchering scam in 2021. A 'crypto recovery service' she hired in 2022 told her some of the stolen crypto was laundered through Tornado Cash. Prosecutors have said her testimony would prove that illicit funds were deposited in Tornado Cash and explain her decision to reach out to the protocol's co-founders, thereby alerting them to the fact it was being misused. But weekend research from the defence team suggested Lin's money never went to Tornado Cash, Patton said on Monday. 'They called a very sympathetic alleged victim who, from our research over the weekend, we can't find a connection between her funds and Tornado Cash,' he said. If so, 'she has utterly no relevance,' Patton continued. He told Judge Katherine Polk Failla he would ask to strike Lin's testimony and might go so far as to move for a mistrial. Storm's defence raised the issue days after crypto security researcher Taylor Monahan assailed the government's decision to call Lin to the witness stand for the very same reason. Monahan said she was unable to find evidence Lin's crypto ever went to Tornado Cash. On Monday, pseudonymous crypto sleuth ZachXBT endorsed her analysis. But prosecutors are standing by Lin's testimony. On Monday, Assistant US Attorney Than Rehn said the government had just filed evidence demonstrating Lin's crypto did, in fact, end up in Tornado Cash. A forthcoming government witness would help prove that point, he added. Storm's trial began on Monday. It is expected to last three weeks. Aleks Gilbert is DL News' New York-based DeFi correspondent.

Japan's 'novel' US investment deal faces 'a lot' of questions
President Trump is touting a $550 billion investment fund as part of a new deal with Japan. Asia Society Policy Institute vice president Wendy Cutler joins Market Catalysts to explain why that figure is unusual and could lead to future tensions. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Catalysts here. deal we saw this week with Japan is specifically a $550 billion dollar what the White House is describing as an investment vehicle that with with Japan presumably sending money to the US. Is that something you've ever come across in your time as a trade negotiator? And what are the consequences there in terms of this actual money as well as with other deals? Well, no, this is this is novel, right? We've seen under Trump 1.0 purchases, but the notion that a an investment fund would be set up and we're talking a dollar figure of 550 um billion Excuse me, 550 million but billion dollars. Yeah, billion. It is it's a big one. billion. I'm sorry. I had said billion. That's okay. You say the number and you're like, wait, is that right? That's a lot of money. Um but I will say when you read the Japanese press on this, there are a lot of disagreements already on what on the contours of this fund, including who's going to be controlling it, who's, you know, how, you know, Japan's talking about, yeah, it could go up to 550 billion. Um but I think there are a lot of details that need to be worked out here. I understand we're asking Korea to do something along the same lines. I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes a request to Taiwan as well. Um I think, you know, the dollar figure may be less, but I think this is going to be a feature. And when you read the US the White House fact sheet on the Japan deal, it's all about this investment fund. And and quickly, Wendy, is that then a recipe for further friction down the line? Well, absolutely. If, you know, it's one thing to announce something, but if it starts if you start having disagreements on what was agreed to so early after a negotiation, it does not bode well for smooth implementation. Yeah, Wendy, thank you very much as always. Great to get your perspective. Ben, thank you very much. Both of you have a great weekend.

Philippines Vice President Sara Duterte wins legal victory as Supreme Court throws out impeachment
Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte won a legal victory. The country's Supreme Court struck down an impeachment complaint against her. President Ferdinand Marcos jnr distanced himself from the proceedings. Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte scored a big legal win on Friday when the Supreme Court struck down an impeachment complaint against her, ruling that it was unconstitutional. The lower house of Congress had impeached Duterte in February, accusing her of misusing public funds, amassing unusual wealth and threatening to kill Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos jnr, the First Lady, and the House Speaker. The court said it was not absolving Duterte of the charges, but the ruling may nevertheless be a huge boost for her political ambitions. She is widely seen as a strong contender for the 2028 presidency, which Marcos cannot contest due to a single-term limit for Philippine presidents, but an impeachment trial conviction would have seen her banned from office for life. Duterte has said the move to impeach her, which came amid a bitter feud with Marcos, was politically motivated. 'This unanimous decision has once again upheld the rule of law and reinforced the constitutional limits against abuse of the impeachment process,' Duterte's lawyers said in a statement. Duterte is the daughter of firebrand former president Rodrigo Duterte, who is now in the custody of the International Criminal Court over his bloody war on drugs. He has denied wrongdoing. In a unanimous decision, the country's top court agreed with Duterte's contention that Congress violated a constitutional safeguard against more than one impeachment proceeding against the same official within a year. More than 200 members of the lower house had endorsed the fourth impeachment complaint to the Senate, having not acted on the first three filings. 'The articles of impeachment, which was the fourth complaint, violated the one year period ban because there were three complaints that came ahead of it,' Supreme Court spokesperson Camille Ting told a media briefing. As a result, the Senate then did not have the authority to convene an impeachment tribunal, the court added. Holmes Chan/AFP Marcos has distanced himself from the proceedings against his estranged vice president, saying the government's executive branch cannot intervene in the matter. His office said on Friday the court's decision must be respected. A spokesperson for the Senate said the upper chamber was duty-bound to respect the court's ruling. There was no immediate comment from members of the House prosecution panel, but a spokesperson for the lower house said that while it respects the court, 'its constitutional duty to uphold truth and accountability does not end here.' The Supreme Court said a fresh complaint could be filed against Duterte once the ban expires. 'We remain prepared to address the allegations at the proper time and before the appropriate forum,' Duterte's lawyers said.
