PRIVACY IS NOT A CRIME 🌀
Discussion
Have you any more news why they pleaded guilty? Lack of funds??
Likely 5 years or less in jail and fines. Much better than 20 plus for them. They likely will get a year off for time served. We shall see what the judge does.
Perhaps but why aren't they fighting?
I think either because they were running out of legal funds or accepted the plea under duress.

The evidence is likely too large.
I'm agree with you.
Privacy is property.
Violation without consent is plunder.
“SW devs pled to the unlicensed money transmission conspiracy, in exchange for dropping the money laundering conspiracy.
Keone, who was required by the judge to state his criminal conduct in his own words, gave a careful allocution that accurately stated that it was the SW users, and not the software, that “transmitted funds.”

This appears to imply that the *only* reason for SW users breaking the historical links between transactions is money laundering, rather than simply good for privacy. That’s not good for anyone who used the service for legitimate, legal reasons. The prosecutor is trying to put taint on coinjoins.
It technically is now. That's the problem. We must fight this.

It never was. Privacy is simply an extension of property rights. All your personal info are your property.
Of course not. But Bitcoiner still think Monero is a shitcoin and Bitcoin is private enough.
Take this as a warning. Speech is now a crime. You want to protect your real identity at all costs. Ramp up your opsec. And in god's name get your hatred for Monero sorted and use the fucking tool to protect yourself and your family.
Chainanalysis + AV (KYC) + AI + transparent blockchain means ultimate control.
