Looks like the Government did a major oopsie in what can only be called one of the most incriminating pieces of evidence against Roman Storm.

In the indictment, the Government alleges that "[Pertsev] sent a message to STORM and SEMENOV through the Encrypted App, saying 'Heya, anyone around to chat about axie? Would like to ask a few general questions about how one goes about cashing out 600 mil.'"

Except that message was never authored by Pertsev - it was written by a CoinDesk reporter and only forwarded by Pertsev to the other TC developers.

The defense now demands an investigation of grand jury minutes as it claims that the Government may have misled the court.

But the Government maintains that nothing about it’s depiction was misleading, because the message proves that Storm had knowledge of the hack, which is what the prosecution intends to offer it for – “regardless of who actually typed out that message.”
