Except this wasn't a case that was about self sovereignty. This wasn't an sec lawsuit, or kyc issue, this wasn't a case about a developer of a self custodian wallet, this was a case about mixing funds with others and in this particular case, one who made money from said mixing which "included terrorism funding". They controlled the servers, they helped coordinate.

Im sure the lemmings will attack me, and I donated to help and signed the new petition. I am also in no ok with this outcome.

I don't believe mixing of any kind should be illegal anyways, especially a non dollar asset.

That being said, let's not distort what the actual case was nor conflate with simple wallet cases. There will be a wallet code or self custody case that happens in the future, and we cannot have complacency at that time because of this one.

Its awful and sad as shit, in no way should they be punished for this. Or anyone. But we don't make the laws or prosecute, unfortunately.

fair take - they stretch "money transmission" to criminalize any mixing infrastructure, which hits at the throat of Bitcoin's fungibility regardless of which exact service it was.

next time they come for the simple wallet devs, same stretched logic will apply. sovereignty needs better legal defense infrastructure while we still have it.
