Nobody knows and we can only argue about what is known.
If this is all the DOJ has got then i think a lot will come down to if/how these jpgs were presented to investors.
If they were just files on someone's computer, their case probably goes nowhere.
if they have more in this vein, it will not go well for Samourai.
But the point is, you're taking THEIR word for it at this time.
I'm not claiming to be some legal expert Mel
I'm just pointing out the indictment gives no context for these jpegs and its ridiculous to take the DOJs word for what they are.
yeah yeah
and the Loyalists in the American Revolution were also just being "logical and realistic."
kids,
when the DOJ says they have "marketing materials proving the defendants conspired to assist criminals avoid law enforcement detection"
DONT always believe them unquestionably.
Again,
you are pearl clutching over a jpg or two of what the DOJ (rather dogily) calls "marketing materials"
obviously you are happy to take their word for it and buy their line that these jpgs and their mention of "illicit" and "restricted" markets constitute "marketing their service to launder money" without any further context.
Sad.
That isn't in the indictment either.
Its not even possible with the way the platform is structured 🙄
As I said
acknowledging you have customers that use your product for criminal use-cases
is not a crime.
Using/operating a market over Tor is not a crime, although those markets are commonly used to buy illicit substances.
Those are true free markets.
There is nothing illegal happening on page 9. Obviously the DOJ thinks they can get a conspiracy conviction.
But only because enough people read into it the same way you are.
Its not there Mel. Read it again.
Skirting the law is actually not a crime.
Shouldn't even need to be said but here we are.
I'll take things that dont appear in the Samourai indictment for 300 Alex
There is nothing in the Samourai indictment where they are asked if they are able or willing to assist in money laundering.
None of that appears in the indictment.
You appear to be making things up?
"You cant just get together and throw a bunch of tea in the harbor to protest unjust taxation. it's not gonna end well."
You can and you should Mel.
receipts please.
because that doesnt appear in the indictment.
Nothing that I know of but pokkst is the guy to ask. I can see what he has to say.
for real.
right now I only listen to Watchmen regularly.
what else is there..?
ffs marty
not everything is fucking "leveraged"
sometimes we just "use" shit
Doug is NOT the best face for monero imo lol.
but what were you listening to that pissed you off?
