Another periodic reminder that just because address A sends to address B, doesn't make it 100% guaranteed that entity A controls address B.

What it means. The money transmission charge was key. This is a huge loss for for the developers of non-custodial software.
So it sounds like no verdict on money laundering (gov't could possibly re-prosecute). Guilty on conspiracy to transmit money, and not guilty on conspiracy to evade sanctions. Happy about 1 and 3. The money transmission charge was inappropriate from the start and the way the

Most investigation tools paraded in front of a jury, in addition to never begin audited, actively focus on collapsing the tx graph so your local TLA desk jockey can "follow the money" after passing their 8hr cert.

SW devs pled to the unlicensed money transmission conspiracy, in exchange for dropping the money laundering conspiracy. Federal sentencing guidelines for the two charges together would have been 160-210 months, but the maximum for the money transmission charge is 60 (5 years).

While investigating the spam campaign of 2015, I stumbled upon a wallet which I believed to be the QuadrigaCX exchange but I wasn't able to confirm my theory. Years later, it appeared that these weird transactions were G.Cotten robbing his own exchange. https://t.co/DGSw6Jyj3q
