Don't pay Trump a ransom. If the campaign succeeds and gets Trump to "right some Biden era Lawfare", no harm is done in pardoning them. The better course would have been to not plead guilty though. The guilty plea is a slap in the face for anybody who now is trying to help them.

Where @Bitcoin Mechanic is wrong is when he says they went to jail for "conspiracy to money laundering". They were charged with it, but the plea deal was only about money transmission, not conspiracy to money laundering.

That's... A relief frankly. That makes life a lot less stressful for coinjoin devs.

They implicitly agreed to have been operating a "money transmitter" business, putting a target not only on coinjoin devs but all involved in self-custodial bitcoin wallets.
