According to Paul Grewal, a judge has denied Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm's motion to dismiss his case for lack of venue. Grewal reports that the denial was based on the prosecution's claim of a New York-based victim whose hacked funds were allegedly laundered through the protocol, but the final judgment on this issue has been deferred until trial. Importantly, the judge expressed skepticism and shared concerns about the prosecution's proof of venue. Grewal suggests this could form the basis for a compelling Rule 29 motion for acquittal later, signaling a potential weakness in the jurisdictional aspect of the case. This legal development is closely watched by traders as it holds significant implications for the future of DeFi regulations, developer liability, and privacy protocols in the cryptocurrency market.

According to Vitalik Buterin, a high threshold for fine-tuning AI models presents both opportunities and risks. While it allows for more extensive modifications without oversight, it also increases the liability for the original developer if the changes deviate significantly from the initial model.
