Reposting from bird site post by Laurent MT. "Here we go again"

"...the defendants, developed, marketed, and operated a cryptocurrency mixing

service known as Samourai Wallet (““Samourai”), an unlicensed money transmitting business from

which they earned millions of dollars in fees. Samourai unlawfully combined multiple unique

features to execute anonymous financial transactions valued at over $2 billion in cryptocurrency

for its customers. While offering Samourai as a “privacy” service, the defendants knew that it was

a haven for criminals to engage in large-scale money laundering and sanctions evasion. Indeed,

as the defendants intended and well knew, a substantial portion of the funds that Samourai

processed were criminal proceeds passed through Samourai for purposes of concealment. Indeed,

during the relevant period, Samourai laundered over $100 million dollars of crime proceeds

originating from, among other criminal sources: illegal darkweb markets, such as Silk Road and

Hydra Market; various wire fraud and computer fraud schemes, including a web-server intrusion,

a spear phishing scheme, and schemes to defraud multiple decentralized finance protocols; and

other illegal activities."
