      I didn’t watch either, but I think it’s about this:

      https://bravenewcoin.com/insights/bitcoin-privacy-developer-gets-5-years-in-prison-what-it-means-for-crypto

      That tool was designed to help users hide transaction history and protect financial privacy on public blockchains.

      Authorities prosecuted him, arguing the tool was used to facilitate money laundering and other illegal activity.

        Why is the post heavily downvoted?

        It was bullshit prosecution, and should have been open sourced before trial.

    glad to hear he had an option for a five year sentance, instead of life

    but its crazy that these prosecuting agencies have unlimited resources to ruin peoples lives like this.

    Especially, for nonviolent people
