True. Kind of their choice. I guess for them, the only 2 ways are fully disappearing, which is pretty hard, or having a good lawyer as you said.

This is a little bit weird for me based on the bitcoin background. 

 It is and it isn’t. Not all were bitcoiners. And bitcoiners are very different from each other. I think many  just didn’t think about it at all. 

 I guess the saying: "only paranoids survive", kind of holds pretty well. Unfortunately.  

 Also anonymity is a bitch. If you lose it, you lose it forever.
