As horrible as this situation is, at least the ops were wrong again. They were like, SW were spooks! Muh xpubs. Praying their lawyers can keep them out of prison.

They still developed the best coinjoin and it’s still open source. It’s like dark markets, they can stop Ross but they can’t close Pandora’s box. Privacy will live on.
Ops be like, we never said that?
The state is clearly sending a message but it’s bc they are threatened. There’s a reason why they went after SW and not wasabi. Wasabi’s coinjoin was trash. Free demixes!
It will be interesting to watch unfold. My guess is it will parallel the Silk Road unfortunately. SW will go down as martyrs but ultimately the state won’t stop anything. I hope not tho, I really like the SW guys. They are based.,
I like the take of Beautyon
