That said, the DAO didn't control the core contract. So to the extend that the core contract was used *without* any of the ancillary tools (website, DAO controlled smart contracts) then you COULD still maintain you had no control over that activity.

Unfortunately the DoJ probably just needs to prove *one* money launderer using the UI (based on CloudFlare records or something) for the money laundering charge to hold.

So then the defense in the US would have to fall back on the non-custodial side of things. At minimum they didn't need a license.

And it's worse. IIUC the money laundering charge is *conspiracy*. So they needed to have the intention of someone using the UI to launder money, and take one concrete step towards it (like writing the code). If such a charge survives, even if a license wasn't needed, that's a problem.

The Netherlands doesn't even have a license system for this, so it's really just about the question whether or not this was (actual, not conspiracy to) money laundering.

(where "intention" is a bar perhaps as low as "disregard for the risk of")
