Roman Sterlingov’s conviction for running a mixer is a dangerous legal precedent
The only hard evidence for him to serve 20 years in prison is that his KYC Bitcoin went through many hops and wallets before it later was used to buy a domain name. Which was then used for illegal activity.
This would mean that you’re responsible for the future actions of anyone you pay
Insanity
did judges not understand this ? Or are they simply that stupid ?
Clearly both
are they are going to convict random people who spend their KYC corn which is later end up being used for “illegal” activities ? this clearly won’t stand after a rigorous legal debate..right ?
It is corruption. They purposefully dragged him from a California arrest, to DC/Virginia area (the other side of the country) to get a harsh jury and judge that automatically side with the government
This means that if you sell your bitcoin to JP Morgan or Blackrock, you’re going to be held responsible for foreign regime change, forever wars, rigging the metals markets, and massive amounts of fraud and theft.
Act accordingly.
This ☝️
That’s a really good point.

Is anyone creating a legal offense fund so Blackrock and JP Morgan can be held accountable for their crimes against humanity?
Unbelievable. If so, all drug crimes are related to the FED and banks. Both the FED and the banks should go to jail. Because criminals used the currency they printed to conduct transactions.
lol good one
Completely fucked.
nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx's rip with Roman’s lawyers was both enlightening and frightening.
What sort of activity? Worse than their pedo legal rings?
It’s irrelevant what the Bitcoin source is, because the service has no way of knowing that information. And the entire thing is past the statue of limitations being from 2011
Wasn't the conviction on him creating fog mixer?
I will never understand why Bitcoiners ignore Monero, when one friend after another gets prosecuted, thrown into jail or killed for the transparent use of Bitcoin.
Bitcoiners hear me out: Your government might want to get rid of you or your wealth in the future.
For your own safety. Use the right tools for the job provided by us cypherpunks.

Ridiculous. Surely this will go to appeal.
The “expert witness” of Chainalysis is an incredibly bad actor in the space.
Shame Chainalysis
Monero fix it :kissing_heart_sunglasses:
