No. Samourai did nothing wrong. Building a tool that criminals also use (~5%) does not make the tool or the builder criminal Neither does publically or privately acknowledging criminal usage. #freesamourai

I love this, but why are we paying (no offense to anyone who’s might freak out on me) to defend people who clearly knew what they were doing was wrong in many aspects. They assured their customers that they could launder bitcoin for them and even charged more for that job. no one likes the government, but there are certain things that you can’t thumb your nose at and to have everyone pay for your defense if that makes sense.

Yes, they did when people messaged them to ask them if they could make their Bitcoin clean, they assured them that they could. If they had just used the software without asking and no one answered maybe that would be different but they said yes we can and we actually charge more for it.
Yeah, I see it everywhere in the indictment your marketing your business to potential customers and using email communications with the knowledge and intent that Samurai would be used for the transportation and transmission of funds derived from criminal activity. Sorry you can’t do that.
