 They don’t care if I take their word for it or not, and they don’t care if you do either or anyone else we don’t have any control and believe it or not there are laws and things they follow when they prosecute things like this if there’s enough money in it for them or a lesson to be learned, they’re gonna do it. my original point was they could’ve done better and if they had tried harder not to thumb their nose or be so cocky or market there Black and grace transaction services would’ve been way easier to back them up

not sure that long, unpuctuated run-on paragraph actually makes a point that relates to we were talking about.
yes indeed, they will stretch the law to try and incriminate the people they want to put away.
that why we contribute to their legal defense.

but
I was pointing out that you are taking the DOJs word re "marketing materials" and already imagining a pitch deck to Russian oligarch investors and DNM operators.
which is no doubt exactly the point of them releasing this material without any context.

what I mean is,
they DONT say that in the indictment. that is YOUR imagination.

 Dude, your commenting on my run-on sentence. I’m using voice just fuck off. I mean it’s so stupid. You’re so wrapped up in anything but what you’re actually supposed to be talking about let me I’m gonna just ramble on here with no punctuation for a while and I hope this makes your brain feel betterbecause I’m not even gonna bother to talk to someone who is this ridiculous bye

 call it "voice" or whatever you want.

its an impenetrable wall of text that doesn't seem to make any logical conclusion.

 I didn’t take their word for it. They fucking posted it on Twitter and on their website I don’t have to take the DOJ Word for the marketing. you should probably get your pearls out

 nobody is calling it "marketing material" except the DOJ.

YOU ARE TAKING THEIR WORD THAT IS WHAT IT IS, THAT IT WAS USED IN THAT WAY AND ALREADY MAKING ALL KINDS OF ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT IT.

It is a jpg on a website and we know nothing else about it.

but for some reason you find the DOJ narrative very convincing and are already ready to convict them. (although constantly protesting you'd rather it was some other way)

and yet claim to be logical and realistic.

pretty weird honestly.

 I showed it to you. It was on their website and it was on their Twitter account countless times. I’m not taking anyone’s word for it you have no idea what you’re saying you haven’t done any of your own research and the only thing you’re focused on is grammar and pearls and other dumb shit so don’t argue with me unless you really can
