I’ve literally been trying to learn coinjoining in the past couple weeks using entirely KYC sats just to learn and to protect myself from future government overreach. Luckily I didn’t have anything currently mixing, not sure if I would have been able to get it out now.

No clue what the current status of funds is. It’s such a tricky (and unjust) situation. Like Lyn said, simply participating in a privacy tool puts a target on normal peoples’ backs.

the bitcoin is always in your custody, never the coordinator. they never have/had the ability to stand between you and your sats.
You are always in control of your keys they never custodied anything so you would of been fine.
That’s what I thought… it’s also why I’m confused about the charges, unless the founders actually laundered their own money.
On one hand, the code-is-speech argument and self-custodial decisions are in their favor, even with some acknowledgment that some people may use the tools for illegal means.
But if they took fees and knew about specific instances of criminal activity or sanctioned addresses, that might be a different story
