> "Tornado Cash does not pose any barrier for people with criminal assets who want to launder them," according to the translated verdict seen by CoinDesk. "That is why the court regards the defendant guilty of the money laundering activities as charged."

I wonder if automobile and knife manufacturers will be jailed next:

- Automobiles do not pose any barrier for people with murderous intent who want to drive over pedestrians crossing the street.

- Knives do not pose any barrier for people with murderous intent who want to stab people with them.

These analogies aren't even very good, because "money laundering" is not analogous to murder, it is a weasel word term for a benign victimless activity of moving money privately.

Law enforcement needs to figure out how to investigate the original crimes without "following the money."

This idea that privacy must be sacrificed in the name of law enforcement is a kind of extremism that I think We The People always and perpetually need to push back against.
