The article highlights the alarming lack of awareness among U.S. Congress members who publicly support Bitcoin regarding important legal prosecutions against developers of Bitcoin-related software. Notably, the cases against the Samourai Wallet developers and others involved in Bitcoin mixers raise critical questions about the legality and privacy of Bitcoin usage. The author stresses that these prosecutions are undermining the fundamental aspects of self-custodial software and urges citizens to advocate for these issues by contacting their representatives.
...the current legal prosecution of the Samourai team, as well as the relevant prosecutions against Roman Sterlingov...are the most important legal cases impacting the sovereign and private use of Bitcoin...
...Roman Storm is sitting in jail right now after a conviction attained with zero hard evidence whatsoever. His conviction was based on nothing more than unproven assertions by blockchain analysis company Chainalysis.
The fact that this is not only not on the radar of any Congressman or Congresswoman who claims to be pro-Bitcoin, but not being loudly talked about, is absurd.
I'm calling on every United States citizen reading this to take the form letter below, fill it in appropriately, and send it to your congressman or congresswoman...
...the developers being prosecuted under money laundering legislation for developing purely self custodial software that, in no circumstances in which their software could be used, gave them any control over user funds.
