In fact this is a bit of a fall on the sword moment for the samourai guys. They would have likely lost with this judge and this set of facts. So by taking the plea they avoid precedent that is harmful to the broader wallet ecosystem. It’s a good move. Not as good as winning, but the odds of them winning this seemed very low.

I didn’t realise the judge was so biased. It must have been a difficult decision for #samourai. I hope they don’t get much time.

Yeah good point
