What nobody tells you about Samourai

Samourai were some guys who wanted to make money, but in a fraudulent way, and by fraudulent I mean selling a product that was completely defective and offered no privacy from the coordinator’s point of view — in other words, it wasn’t zerolink.

They weren’t even careful with their own privacy.

They exposed themselves to the state on their own, and now they don’t want to accept the consequences.

It’s fine that this whole story gets sugarcoated with sentimentalism, but that’s the truth.

None of this would have happened if they had understood firsthand what the state is and that the state is just waiting for you to make the slightest mistake to screw you over.

It’s ironic, to say the least, that you offer a privacy service when you yourself are incapable of being private, all while knowing that what you’re doing is “illegal” in the eyes of the state — but of course, as long as you were making money, everything was fine.
