Storm is set to stand trial on April 14, facing charges from the United States related to money laundering, sanctions violations and fraud. Pertsev, on the other hand, was arrested by Dutch authorities in 2022 and later sentenced to over five years in prison for his alleged involvement in laundering illicit funds through Tornado Cash. He is currently appealing the verdict.
