The state is evil and the plebs have been brainwashed to believe in it. We need bitcoin.

Essentially, this conviction implies that anyone utilising a Layer 2 solution or decentralised exchange (DEX) is at risk, highlighting a significant concern for the technology.

There is no evidence. It is corrupt to the core. One of the key players in the DoJ, involved in the case, has a financial interest in chainalysis. Another one of the prosecutors is trying to make a big score with this case, in order to be appointed federal judge presumably. They will gleefully ruin an innocent man’s life, to advance their career. This is exactly what happened to Aaron Swartz (Reddit co-founder).

The judge I believe, has a relative that owns the prison where he is being held, a 2 hour drive from DC, to make it more inconvenient for him to meet with his attorney.

These human scum deserve no mercy.

so what is the evidence exactly?

from the article it appears there is none

Still waiting to find a single individual who has ever been harmed by money laundering...

Wow, amazing they found 12 smooth brain jurors. Oh well, time for appeal. Remember: the government wants you enslaved or dead.

Even the article post-verdict can't articulate the state's case. Everyone seems to have been bamboozled by Chainalysis proprietary tools.

To be fair, it's possible Roman is guilty of what they're accusing him, it's just hard to verify.

(Not that this should be a crime in the first place - there are legitimate reasons for wanting privacy, and Bitcoin Fog helped)

Are they going to appeal the decision?

Damn wtf

Hitting a paywall.
