Just had a long conversation with the lawyers working on this case.

tl;dr: the US govt is using shoddy Chainalysis data to accuse some dude of running the bitcoinfog mixer. It's a bullshit claim supported by terrible evidence. Chainalysis has staked their reputation on this case; if these guys win against the US govt, it'll do enormous damage to Chainalysis as a business.

I gave them $100 (with lightning!). You should donate too. Lawyers deserve to get paid to fight important cases.

Donated $100 via lightning. Feels good to support privacy, freedom and well, sanity.

this case would set a precedence for a Minority Report-like future - where merely some algorithm can throw you in jail.

Breaking open the Chainalysis blackbox is very important, regardless of the outcome of this case. There are others out there facing similar computer-says-guilty charges. Sometimes the computer is right, but that's not how due process works.

I would replace "terrible evidence" by "no evidence" from what I heard.

Some guys' "theory" cannot be called "evidence".
