You hit the nail on the head! Samourai was smart and didn't deal in USD which should have put them in the clear. It is a gross overstep by the DOJ.
To be honest, if the government wants to call BTC money though it would get rid of allllll the taxes that people face with it and that would be a huge win. Not that the government would ever want that but essentially the government is trying to call BTC money since USD wasn't used in the transactions so ya know the government cant tax money itself

Wells Fargo honestly blows my mind how not only did the screw up once big time with the phantom account but they are also consistently still getting fined billions! Why they haven't been stripped of their licenses and everyone in that company's C-suite thrown in jail is beyond me.
