did you see what they did in the netherlands? they threw a guy in jail because the code he wrote and deployed to a decentralized network "could not be stoped" and made him responsible for the criminal actions commited with that code.
that is like someone is drowning a guy in my pond, but now it is my fault for deploying an unstoppable pond. it makes no sense, and has to be fought tooth and nail.
and before you say "yeah but he made a tool that is useful for criminals"...
Everything that is remotely useful is also useful for criminals
That is absolutely not what I am saying or what happened here you need to read the indictment.
Which indictment?
Are you talking about the samourai one?
I think samourais MO was questionable, but so was the indictment.
You should read the judgment from the Netherlands on the tornado cash case.
It will give you a different perspective on what is really at play here
But the American government and the government and the Netherlands are two different things. I can’t even begin to compare the true and yes, I’m talking about the Samurai indictment.
I know what’s at play here
Did you read the tornado indictment?
No, it is not about the tool made useful for criminals. It is about answering messages and talking to the criminals about what they intend to do for them and what they charge in order to do it that’s different.
