Software development is already considered a crime in some cases.
Tornado cash devs were an example.
Satoshi Nakamoto decision to remain anonymous and disappear seems wiser as time passes.
I have seen people comparing durov with ross ulbricht which is mind boggling.
This man created a messaging/social media app that is not controlled by the powers that be and now he is getting punished for his freedom and independence.
Don’t let yourself be fooled.
Remember, innocent until proven guilty.
They are coming for us next.
- spacephysics 2y agoThis screams guilty until proven innocent, and we’re seeing more weaponization of the courts in the West. Scary times.
- acdha 2y agoThe Tornado cash developers were charged because they personally profited from criminal activity (laundering greater than $1 billion, helping North Korea). Someone developing software is not in the same situation if they are not also operating a service which criminals can use.
- vaylian 2y agoThanks. Do you have a source for this? The darknet diaries episode didn't mention that: https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/147/ https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/147/

- 627467 2y agoWas it proven that tornado cash devs knowingly and intentionally laundered 1B and helper North Korea or are we just describing what a tumbler does which is to allow parties to mix in their money's and the tumbler operator takes a profit for running this? That's the problem with this "lowly devs engaging in biz that big finance guys without paying their dues to the rest of the extortion racket". Which HSBC executives got jailed for laundering billions for narcos during the GFC? Oh it was just a slap in the wrist fine.
- acdha 2y agoI’m describing what they were charged, and in at least one case, convicted in a public trial: https://therecord.media/tornado-cash-money-laundering-verdict-netherlands-alexey-pertsev https://therecord.media/tornado-cash-money-laundering-verdic... The big trial is still in progress so it remains to be seen how those charges will ultimately be resolved: https://www.coindesk.com/arc/outboundfeeds/yahoo/nrys8o/?outputType=xml https://www.coindesk.com/arc/outboundfeeds/yahoo/nrys8o/?out...
- mdhb 2y agoThis is truly some of the most paranoid nonsense I’ve read on here in the past two days and that’s really saying something.
