According to CoinDesk, the trial of Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm, originally scheduled for September, has been postponed to December 2nd by a US judge at Friday's hearing. Prosecutor Thane Rehn said the trial is expected to last two weeks.The core issue of the US Department of Justice's case against Roman Storm is whether he created the software or controlled the service. At Friday's hearing, Brian Klein, a defense lawyer for Waymaker LLP, argued that Storm no longer controlled Tornado Cash after May 2020 - during this time, Storm was accused by the Department of Justice of violating the law by running Tornado Cash.Waymaker's Keri Axel added that the Tornado Cash user interface itself does not control the transactions sent by users. The defense repeatedly emphasized that Storm did not control the pools of Tornado Cash, which are immutable, and therefore cannot be held criminally responsible for how people use the mixer.The judge did not make any decisions on Friday, saying that he will "quickly" rule on all motions.

South Korean court approves arrest warrant for current President Yoon Seok-yeol
on that day, the South Korean court approved an arrest warrant against Yoon Seok-yeol on charges of insurrection. It is reported that this is the first arrest warrant issued against a sitting president in the history of South Korean constitutional politics. On the 30th, the "Joint Investigation Headquarters" composed of the Korean Senior Public Officials Crime Investigation Department, the police, and the Ministry of National Defense Investigation Department submitted a request to detain President Yoon Seok-yeol to the Seoul Western District Court. The Korean Senior Public Officials Crime Investigation Department has issued three summonses to Yoon Seok-yeol on suspicion of "insurrection leader" and "abuse of power to obstruct the exercise of rights", but Yoon Seok-yeol has not responded. According to the South Korean "Criminal Procedure Law", if the suspect has no justifiable reason to refuse to accept the investigation request, or may not accept the investigation request, the investigation agency can apply to the court for an arrest warrant and conduct a forced investigation on the relevant personnel. -

In a recent interview, Julia Zanatta explained that the use of drex should be voluntary rather than mandatory, as it could become a tool for controlling Brazilians. She has planned multiple backup measures to prevent this from happening and to help Brazilians maintain their current economic freedom. -
