Clearly the government does not like people seeing this absolute diabolical misrepresentation of law and a absolute miscarriage of so called “justice”.
This guy made a tool that makes it harder to TRACK crypto transactions. That’s it. Thats all. They never had the money. They didnt do anything with the money. They just make it hard for anyone else to track your money. This whole case was fucked up beyond all recognition.
The video is really about the general right to privacy and covers that charge. The prosecution was so badly done it that even a fucking congressman piped into the case adding “its like charging Microsoft with conspiracy to commit money laundering because some criminals used Windows/Excel to keep their ledgers” Real FUBAR shit
Tldr: Two guys made a non custodial service that makes it harder to track crypto. And they tried to fuck them cause it makes their jobs hard.
Story title is clickbait. Read this (short) Wikipedia article to get a quick summary
tl;dr the privacy tool in question mixes cryptocurrency funds with other users funds and hence the US government alleged this was a money laundering service
