You're not a pirate. Stop self-identifying as a criminal.

"The consequences of this approach" "Die Konsequenzen dieser Denkweise" We are talking about a national court that finds itself in the thicket not only of European AML- , KYC- and terrorism-prevention-legislation, but in the swamp of whatever implementation of European standards in national law and, ... gets lost in the madness of standards and then - as Patrick writes in German - falls back or has to fall back on the “way of thinking”, i.e. a gut feeling. In addition, every judge at such a court is subject to pressure from within the authorities. Then that's the result. If the state did not have a monopoly on the use of force, and therefore the corresponding power structures, then I would laugh at this judgment. Smile at it with pity. That is not legal state law enforcement, that is an enforcement of beliefs.
