Please explain more your second sentence.
Not sure if you studied enough the Silk Road case. This is similar to it.
Gov agencies were using Ross from the beginning, and now that's why they put him in jail for life so he cannot talk.
Gov agencies create "a problem", then wait for the reaction/evolving etc, then come up with a "solution".
I am suspicious that samourai team was involved from day one in this operation, helping gov agencies for years to accumulate data, create tools and also create the false impression of "privacy". They are capable to do that and also the meanings.
Now, I do not have enough information about the samourai guys being involved, but even if they weren't involved, they could be used as patsies. We do not have enough information but is possible.
This whole case stinks...
The goal is to hit hard in Bitcoin community. They want Bitcoin to be a "compliant token" run by ETFs.

I believe that this is correct. Maybe the names and faces are incorrect but THE GOOD GUYS AND THE BAD GUYS ARE THE SAME GUYS in the Hegelian Dialectic.
In my case I have to act with action that I think is correct and avoid contact or action with players who seek to trap via machinations. You can do a little over think. Or I can. We should do good work that is helpful and not harmful. Bitcoin is good work. Lightning is good work. Privacy is good work. Evil is the work of central planners.
