Possibly. In my experience these things are always case specific and defendant specific. I don't know much about the Liberty Coin guys, or what they were accused if doing. I also don't know much about these Samourai guys.

From a surface level they were both selling their product on it's subversive features (saying the quiet part out loud, as it were).
Of course you're right that the cases will be different in their specifics and I hope it goes better this time. My recollection is that Liberty Coin was shut down under domestic terrorism charges.

If, and I hope this never happens, there is ever brought a similar case involving a lightning product, the use case is much more palatable, ie: lower fees, immediate settlement.
