 No.

Samourai did nothing wrong.
Building a tool that criminals also use (~5%) does not make the tool or the builder criminal

Neither does publically or privately acknowledging criminal usage.

 Yes, they did when people messaged them to ask them if they could make their Bitcoin clean, they assured them that they could. If they had just used the software without asking and no one answered maybe that would be different but they said yes we can and we actually charge more for it. 
 None of that appears in the indictment.

 I don’t make anything up for fun don’t worry
