"Court admissibility hearings are 'not the appropriate time to begin the process of peer review of the data.'"

A United States federal jury convicted 35-year-old Roman Sterlingov of money laundering and operating an unlicensed money transmission business, finding that he operated a Bitcoin mixing service called Bitcoin Fog (such early custodial mixing services pooled Bitcoin from many users, obfuscating ownership upon withdrawal and thereby providing privacy on the publicly viewable blockchain).  Sterlingov, a Russian-Swedish citizen with no ties to the U.S., admitted to using Bitcoin Fog to keep his Bitcoin transactions private, which the district court judge acknowledged remains legal. But Sterlingov staunchly denied being the operator.
