Recently another crypto mixer was sanctioned because of "North Korean hackers". This time it was Sinbad.io and if you pay close attention, you notice certain similarities between this one and the attacks and 100% unjustifiably arrest of Tornado Cash developer Pertsev in Amsterdam.
You won't find it in the original link, but after a little bit of further research it turns out that Sinbad.io's servers were taken down by the Netherlands’ Fiscal Information and Investigation Service (FIOD). "On November 27 FIOD has taken down the website and confiscated the servers of crypto mixing service Sinbad.io in Finland and the Netherlands....Sinbad.io is suspected to have laundered at least 178 million Dollars in one year, money which was mostly stolen by eg North Korean hacking group Lazarus."
I like how it then describes that "crypto mixing services are not by definition illegal...mixing illegally acquired or criminal money is." So....why did your country's police arrest a mere developer of one and why are your courts confiscating his property and trying to uphold some 🐎💩 case against him?🤔
You know the irony of all ironies? These submissive little vassal states acting like the mafia enforcer of their godfather are essentially beggars to their own demise. Who controls or traces the Dollar? A currency which they due to sheer desperation and devastation after WW2 got pushed on and are now essentially left to its mercy. A currency which circulates for more than half of its total supply outside of its own country? What you think a huge portion of that is used for?
So by definition, cash money is essentially a tool as well for criminals to use and evade authorities, but don't you worry because these little stooges that cheer every government attack against crypto will soon enough realize how it's a prelude to banning cash and the inevitable CBDCs.
Which in all honesty is not illegal either right? Cash money is mostly used for non-criminal activity, but because a large portion of it is being used for (mostly) drug related crimes they'll invent all sorts of rules and ideas to counter their own doings. Like recently banning 500 and 200 Euro bills after they themselves introduced it just two decades prior.
Only an utter buffoon could not see the writing on the wall, I mean where do these zombies keep coming from? Do they really think now that government CBDCs are a realistic and inevitable possibility, they will relinquish near absolute control by allowing cash money to circulate in large quantities? Do they think anyone will listen to the people regarding their mass distrust and rejection of CBDCs?
I almost feel that when the time comes they will shat out headlines like "Just as we predicted, criminal activity is finally down now the CBDC is rolled out." And per usual only start waking up once something negative happens to them personally: "You guys, they confiscated all my money just because I opposed their latest policy, please send donations to my....oh, that's no longer possible huh? If only we had some sort of tangible money system where people with different peaceful views could not be targeted and almost entirely left to the authority's mercy. Oh well, guess I'll just change my stance on their latest policy so I won't starve to death. Be sure to like, comment and tune in tomorrow for some more highly influential and revolutionary views of mine."
