 You call them criminals but they haven't been convicted. Could be totally innocent too

 Separate point. The point is that they have no ability to enforce this.

 They do have an ability to enforce it for custodial bitcoin.

It’s a free advertisement for self custody.

 Lyn, may I ask what Nostr client you use?  I am on my PC and using Coracle.  It seems to leave a lot to be desired.
