Roman Sterlingov was recently convicted for running a Bitcoin mixer.

This is a very dangerous legal precedent. Because the only hard evidence for him to potentially serve 20 years in prison is that his KYC Bitcoin went through many hops and wallets, before being used later to supposedly buy a domain name.

This court case means that anyone is responsible for the future actions of anyone you pay, because if those funds turn out to go to anything illegal, you’re automatically on the hook. And people wonder why we like Monero?!

Get the full scoop on this shocking case, it's the ultimate why Monero: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/unproven-proprietary-chainalysis-software-jails-bitcoin-user/

Not surprising, the "government" is run by insane war criminals and child murdering demonic scumbags who launder huge amounts of stolen money every day then they point the finger at completely insignificant issues like "coin mixers" and ruin many lives while feeding the prison industrial complex.
