DOJ prosecutors stated in open federal court that they were considering criminal charges against him in connection with Dragonfly's 2020 investment in the privacy protocol via entity PepperSec Inc., though no formal charges had been announced as of the latest available reporting. He invoked his Fifth Amendment right and declined to testify at Roman Storm's criminal trial after prosecutors refused to grant him immunity. Federal authorities raided his home and seized his devices as part of the investigation. Dragonfly stated it fully cooperated with the DOJ, adding that bringing charges would be outrageous and contrary to the facts, with Haseeb Qureshi stating the firm did not operate or exercise any control over Tornado Cash.
