Good video. They should have never been prosecuted, let alone incarcerated.

I am, however, opposed to campaigns that beg for a pardon by Trump. The situation is akin to negotiating with a ransomware extorter - there is simply no possible outcome that is acceptable.

Don't pay Trump a ransom. If the campaign succeeds and gets Trump to "right some Biden era Lawfare", no harm is done in pardoning them.

The better course would have been to not plead guilty though. The guilty plea is a slap in the face for anybody who now is trying to help them.

Where nostr:nprofile1qqs8fl79rnpsz5x00xmvkvtd8g2u7ve2k2dr3lkfadyy4v24r4k3s4spz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09uqsuamnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dshsu0ur8h is wrong is when he says they went to jail for "conspiracy to money laundering". They were charged with it, but the plea deal was only about money transmission, not conspiracy to money laundering.

That's... A relief frankly. That makes life a lot less stressful for coinjoin devs.

They implicitly agreed to have been operating a "money transmitter" business, putting a target not only on coinjoin devs but all involved in self-custodial bitcoin wallets.
