Yes. I agree. What really bothers me are that serious questions raised by the indictment may remain unresolved for a long time.

Thanks -- as a lay person, I appreciate the inside view.

If not, the cooperation would have to be based on actual communications with individuals who expressed criminal intent.

I feel like this is the best outcome for Bitcoin and techies in general -- if they plead guilty to working with (maybe even selling tools/access to) criminals who made their criminal intent clear, that removes the concern over the notion of "criminal" computer code, right?
