They are officially being prosecuted for knowingly soliciting "illicit money" for their business right?
This is no different from a bank knowingly soliciting "illicit money". Maybe this case really is technology agnostic.
Banks and money changers have been successfully prosecuted for similar offenses in the past without discrediting the whole ecosystem.
Not trying to say the case has merit, just trying to follow their logic.
