d) I genuinely believe that Medjedovic should show up in court to test that theory. The only thing interesting about this case is how incompetent he was, while having his entire brand and identity be based on intellectual superiority. He should have used a virgin address and Tornado cash. He should have not needed to risk any funds for failure, as he should have tested the transaction in a localhost staging environment for free. Him getting doxxed is the only thing that allows this theory to be tested, whether he, or we, believe it was legal, it is now unnecessary liability. Instead, everyone knows who he is, that he's spiraling mentally, a judge in his hometown jurisdiction froze his addresses and the funds within it (which is a legal abstraction that does not freeze the funds but makes it illegal to move them until the order is lifted, in his favor or not). Just piling on the liability. I think “code is law” is a decent crux of a more fleshed out defense, I think the Canadian attorney for the project founders is grasping but I’m not as familiar with the direction courts go there, I would prefer to see something similar play out in US federal appeals court (which is sadly after the drama of trials court and how opinions calcify throughout). It would be great and beneficial to see a transcript of how the “Sushi flooding” is argued the context of a broad computer access abuse law. |

I'm astonished at how poor his OPSEC was. He could have taken any number of precautions to shield his identity -- did he really think that deleting the messages on Discord would be sufficient?
