I think you're confusing the way the charges relate to each other. There are many ways to launder money. The charges allege that the WAY they laundered money was by running an unlicensed money transmitter.

Every indictment is drafted like that. We can keep going back and forth. I say the defendants are charged criminally with operating a money transmitter business separate and apart from the mixing. You disagree. Let's see how it plays out.

The way that they are going after it for laundering by using the money transmitter path that itself is the issue. Due to how wallets function in general I mean really all of them are unlicensed money transmitters

In a regular wallet the person transmitting the money is the person/people initiating a transaction. coinjoins make use of a coordinator. I made the point elsewhere, and repeat it here. There are many ways to launder money. In the TV show "Breaking Bad" they buy a car wash to launder money. The car wash was a registered business, paying taxes on claimed revenue, etc.
