As everyone that has worked with any government knows taking money out of them is hard and slow and full of paper process. I think he was using it as a delay tactic, not as a personal enrichment scheme. The color of the hat of the guy is unimportant - he could be wearing Walter White's fedora for all I care. He shattered his business instead of betraying his own customers. At any point he could have just complied. If you read between the lines - he obviously is trying to make money out of his business. He is not a freedom fighter or crypto anarchist. But he put his customers first.
