What a blatantly misleading headline, this has to do with the whole Tornado cash prosecution if anyone has been paying attention.

  they basically made money laundering legal

    It is still illegal to launder money, but it is legal to develop contracts that facilitate laundering money. Sorta like section 230 but for crypto. But that is not the same as saying you will no longer prosecute fraud.

      Making money laundering of fraud money easy finding the fraudsters becomes nearly impossible. It’s still prosecuted just without result.

    Laundering is when you fake a legitimate source for the funds. Obfuscating the source is a different thing. Maybe it's still worth preventing: I'd prefer to know what kind of activity I've enabled when I accept somebody's money. Just if so, it's under a different label.
