 So they were mixing and actively advocating for criminal use?

Color me not surprised.

It’s good to see a bad service shut down.

 What is criminal in one state can be legal in another. 

The Internet is Intended to be a place without nations or states.

 Oh right. They only made an app, they didnt run a mixing service with illicit intent or anything.

What a hot take.

 Do you remember the Panama papers? Are you aware of how the truly rich launder their money? It's all through the banks and the banks at the very most are given a slap on the wrist, no arrests of managenent, no prison sentences. The real reason the govt are after Samaurai is because it's bitcoin which is not under their control. Privacy isn't illegal though you are probably the sort to say "I have nothing to hide" and welcome any & all government surveillance  they impose on us.

 Let me know if you think Lyn's remarks on financial privacy vs money laundering are a hot take
