Who was harmed? Who is being protected by this ruling?
Absolute travesty.

Sad day for bitcoiners everywhere
This is a clear attack on privacy.
Anyone familiar with the facts of this case know, It makes ZERO sense. No laws were broken.
Regardless of what party you vote, some things remain the same.

The is no such crime as money laundering. The crime is the crime. The exchange of money is never a crime.
Money laundering is a fake crime made up by those in power so they can control the money. They also know that if they can put themselves in a position to log, surveil, and grant permission to every transaction made, they can control everything.
Do not comply. Ignore their dictates and immoral infringements on our unalienable right to transact however we see fit.
Better to use the best tools available then.
Imagine trying to fight them with transparent Bitcoin. You're the laughing stock.
They delisted Monero from CEX for a reason.
Yes, I agree. I prefer in face with cash that doesn't devaluate, such as goldbacks. Why leave any trace, even hidden and encrypted ones?
Of course, almost nobody transacts in goldbacks ... which makes that hard.
Goldbacks are awesome and certainly fill the in-person offline gap that Monero has.
Couldn't agree more
even though they eliminated this, they will no longer be able to stop what they created? the wallet code is now free and other wallets will probably appear to replace it?
yes, I am perpetual traveler now and ride the systems.
Taxes are theft!
Do not comply and find holes in their system.
If you use Bitcoin on a exchange, never pay taxes on it. I'd argue not to pay taxes at all, or pay as little as legally permissible, but milage and risk may vary.
I knew this would happen, in this case it didn't matter if the evidence was solid that you didn't do anything wrong, they simply wanted to put him in prison because they hated the alternative they offered.

Free Rodriguez on day 291. Total show trial by crooked justice system with the help of a leftest Clinton appointee thats old enough to be Nancy Pelosi's grandmother. Doubt the ol bag, boomer judge even has a cell phone.
Wow that seems excessive...
¡Gonorreas!
Fucking liberty
From now on, you have to be careful what you type on the keyboard because someone might not like it...
Is there a summary of the official argument why he is sentenced?
because the state likes it's monopoly on money and violence. also, because he pleaded guilty.
He pleaded guilty for exactly what? (I’m genuinely asking since I only know high level — I assume he was operating coin join software)
Fuck
how come wasabi is allowed but not samurai? what's the difference?
Did any of you saw any bitcoin developer helping samurai devs? What I saw was nostr:nprofile1qqs0m40g76hqmwqhhc9hrk3qfxxpsp5k3k9xgk24nsjf7v305u6xffcpp4mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7tcpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7l3vw43 pushing them under the bus. Don't believe me go listen to samurai devs podcasts before the arrests. Bitcoiner developers hate privacy but there is something even worse behind it. Take care Nostr is not the best for privacy you can stop following me now Luke.
